Please see Post #2
I read all post before I posted.
Post 2 did not tell me anything
CIB, agreed. Computer software is my career, and a lot of non-work time as well. I have been REALLY into computer technology for over 30 years. I still think it is poorly explained. But in fairness I don’t think it was really meant to show practical uses of multi-desktops, it was meant as a windows slam which Linux people like to do.
Just to start some flames... Linux would have gone NO WHERE, if it weren’t for a bunch of extreme Geeks willing to spend their time in the command line(i.e pre 1960s technology). Fortunately for the world Linux flavors have slowly been awakening to the fact that we have had video for 50 years now, and they are beginning to implement more things graphically, but overall they still have a long way to go.
The particular feature of multi-desktops does not really have much mass market appeal. It is a geek and power user tool. But please if you disagree, please feel free to provide CIB and the rest of us with practical use cases for the average user. :-)
