Looking at free-will vs. the illusion of free-will, can anyone tell me the difference? Is there a practical difference between free-will and the illusion?

When I say "illusion of free-will" I mean that in the sense of determinism, not in the "I am autnomous free agent, unaffected by my environment", obviously false, sense.

If our fates are predetermined, why are we allowed to see things otherwise? If we see things as a product of free-will how is that different from such things being a product of free-will. I it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...
