Sysinternals Desktops, mdesktop, Dexpot, Virtual Dimension, VirtuaWin, Finestra are the few options that I have shortlisted."

If RedHat or Ubuntu start acting against my best interests I'm not nearly so trapped into my choices. I could, relatively easily, switch all of stuff I use at home to Debian if I so chose.

The incentives for companies that make close-source software are all wrong. Their every incentive is to act against the interests of their customers in important and major ways. Network effects then conspire to make the choices of all of those duped customers make life more difficult for me as they expect me to do things in a way that's compatible with the software that traps them into the cycle.

Yes, large multinationals have a strong tendency to act against the interests of their customers and the public. And that's why I prefer to do business with large multinationals that have an incentive structure that inspires my trust.
