The 3D flip eye-candy might be helpful for switching through 5 apps, but what windows user only has 5 apps running at one time? Why has there been no motivation from the windows world to implement some sort of workspace switching that is present in nearly every linux desktop?
Yes, MS released a PowerToy add-on for XP that attempted to do proved multiple desktops, but it was slow and quirky - it was an afterthought, not designed into the OS (or window manager...)
Now that alternative shells for XP are fairly stable, I use bbLean at work, and I am about 90% satisfied with its implementation of workspaces. How long will it take for alternative shells to come out for Vista to fix all of the dumb eye-candy and make it useable?
