For LINUX Users, this is familiar.

Virtual desktops is a feature that has been in use for several years on numerous Linux distributions. Inside of Windows, the feature has been available through various add-ons and programs, but it has never been a widely used feature, and it has never been built straight into Windows and available right after installation.

That changes with Windows 10.

I just found out today that if you accidentally close a tab in IE, CTRL+Shift+t will bring it back.

And for those die hard Apple users, this should also be familiar.

Apple’s OS X operating system has offered something akin to Virtual Desktops for years. In its early years the feature was called Expose’. Recently Apple renamed it to Mission Control.

Windows 10’s Virtual Desktops allow power users to see every Windows Store app or Desktop program they have open at any given time. A dedicated button for the screen that allows users to switch between the Virtual Desktops, which Microsoft calls Task View, is located on the Taskbar of the Desktop just beside the Cortana personal assistant.

“For LINUX Users, this is familiar.”

For real Unix users, this has been around for 20+ years (if not longer). Nice job keeping up with the Jones, Micro$oft...
