Two weeks ago, I was in Spain, at Caceres for Hispalinux "Congreso 
internacional de software libre".
I saw people starting Mandriva One 2008 with Metisse. But they were unable to 
use it. I was able to turn the windows along XYZ, zoom, move the windows 
between screens and show a little demo with facades.
I am not an expert like Frederic Crozat, but people was impressed.

Metisse need to be shown and explained. The greatest difficulty is to find the 
user manuel hidden at /usr/share/metisse/doc/docs/using.html

IMHO, when metisse is selected an icon "Welcome to Metisse" leading to the 
using.htm file, to demos and to a tutorial is absolutely necessary.

Metisse and Compiz are two Vista killers. I don't use them daily, just for 
demos but they are however very useful.
