What actually is Aero? I have seen that its in the description for this section but I've never heard of it before, and google seems to think the same ;).

Aero is also something from 'longhorn' ;)

Aero is the new Windows user experience. Aero consists of guidelines, recommendations, and user experience values that help your applications get the most out of the Microsoft Windows Code Name "Longhorn" pillars: rich presentation (code-named "Avalon"), data (code-named "WinFS"), and communication (code-named "Indigo").

The WinFX managed classes make it easy to build your applications with the Aero user experience. In addition, applications with the new Aero user experience have opportunities to integrate more deeply with the Windows shell and get exposure to more potential customers. Aero's advances in usability and aesthetics will help excite and empower your customers.
