Been a Powertoy that gave virtual desktops for XP since around the time XP came out. So your article is a bit inaccurate when you make the "Virtual desktops have long been one of those things that Linux has held over Windows (and Mac too, until recently)".. at the start of the article.

Yes, because everyone knows what a Power Tool is...! The Power Tool version has nothing on Dexpot, either.

Mac and (most?) Linux window managers handle virtual desktops natively, that's what I meant.

Well if you want be like that Sebastian, Windows doesn't really do much out-of-the-box .. But like so many things about Windows the "native" api calls are there but MS leaves it to third parties to create the GUI. I like to think of a fresh Windows install as a nice blank canvas.
