Happy to report this bug is fixed in the leaked Windows 8 builds. Seems they're just content to leave it for Windows 7.
DWM in W8 seems to work very differently under the hood. System requirements are far lower to get compositing (and by extension, Aero/glass stuff) to work -- you don't even need any hardware acceleration at all. I had it running Aero in Virtualbox. Awesome.
Those who r facing windows 7 aero lag eg flip 3d.... open start menu type Magnifier click on it move the mouse a little bit on the screen and just close the magnifier program YUR LAG SHOULD BE GONE NOW why beacuze its a windows bug this time microsoft created buggy windows vista has no problems ...... Tell me if lag is gone ...
i think its fixed on my comp by sheer luck... had disabled all animation effects to make it less noticeable (just the animation) in advanced system settings, i then just enabled everything on the list and its gone now... i dunno know how and why but haven't encountered it since the past 4 days. using sapphire 5670, with ati whql driver 8.791.
similar specs here but with ddr3 1600mhz ram. i think its a flaw in the animation not the system itself. maybe microsoft just didnt notice. it will probebly be fixed with sp1.
I didn't say it sucks only because of this animation. It doesn't cone up with anything new since vista. The "Windows Virtual PC" didn't work for me untill i patched bios (it couldn't detect if my procesor supports vistualization), while the old "Virtual PC 2007" worked on Vista without any changes. The new taskbar isn't anything innovative, OS X had it's dock for years... "Aero Snap" also isn't anything new for compiz users.... Oh, and "Seven" is slower than Vista, at least for me.
@RadishRaiser windows 7 has some bugs microsoft need to fixe it thorugh service pack or something otherwise belive me its better than windows vista... vista need more powerfull hardware than 7...
Will there ever be a fix or will Microsoft tell us "Wait 3 years until Windows 8 is coming out"??? There was time enough to fix it, almost one year!!! Issue is known since Beta in January. It is not a driver problem, it is not a problem caused by slow graphic cards, Windows 7 Aero is the problem! No more lame excuses, just fix it! Vista in 2006 could do that animation and I expect that Seven I bought in 2009 can do the animation, too. Pretty please with sugar on top, fix it!
A comment about my video in a forum: "If you look at this HD video, it appears this guy has the problem and didn't slow the video down. Watch the CPU meter in the top right, it's updating every 1 second while the slow fade-in/fade-out is occurring".
- That's right, there's a registry hack I've done in Windows Vista/7 to slow down Aero animations when you hold the left Shift key.
i have the same problems with my radeon hd 5750

Just because of this animation? I don't think so. Windows 7 is a great operating system.

Everybody with Win7 has this issue, just people coming from XP or did not use Aero in Vista won't notice it :-)
