Other than break DOS compatibility and not work with a few random (Win9X/XP) games (most work, but not ALL)? Hmm... Sit there and look pretty? :D
I do like the look of Aero, really, and with very few exceptions the whole Windows interface redesign is great. The only things I miss are the ability to directly link Display Properties in an icon in the row next to the clock on the taskbar (so handy for doing things like changing color depth for Moto Racer or Pod... :)) and ... hmm, can't think of anything else offhand... maybe 'make Shut Down the default large icon and Suspend in the menu list, instead of the other way around as it is'? That's minor, though. The new Start Menu is pretty cool... I really like the limited-size scrolling list. It's a nice improvement over the Win9x/XP Start Menu Programs section which I never liked at all...
