ZDNet looks at Linux from a Windows user's perspective, where virtual desktops are something new. "In his second "Life with Linux" column, Coursey raved about virtual desktops, a feature that lets you create multiple workspaces, each with its own set of programs and windows. "This may sound like switching between apps in Windows, but it isn't: Each desktop preserves its own arrangements of windows, so you don't have to do all that alt-tabbing, opening and closing of windows, or hunting around the task bar to find the apps you want," he wrote." We eagerly await their discovery of the X window system's remote display capabilities.
