How can I get virtual desktops (like Mac's Spaces) on my Windows 7 machine? [closed]

What is the multiple desktop utility you suggest for Windows?

I make much use of ctrl-arrows to new virtual desktops on my MacBook to get more real estate, organize like-applications and windows, and help focus on a task at a time. I was surprised not to find some feature built into Windows 7. Am I wrong? If not, what program do most use for virtual desktops in Windows?

Wishlist:

• Keyboard shortcuts to slide to a new desktop

• Sliding a window/app to an edge activates/moves the app to that virtual desktop

• Zoom-out view allows you to see position and location of all windows on all desktops

• Taskbar icon/view allows for easy two-click jump to any desktop

• Remembers which apps open in which virtual desktop, on re-launch moves you to that desktop for app launch

• (If you know any additional useful/cool features to hope for, add them as comments and I'll edit & add here.)

[And, no, 'install Mac OS X' is not what I'm looking for.]

Answer 1

Yes, you can use virtual desktops in windows utilizing the sysinternals suite. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881.aspx is the module you want to use.

Answer 2

Check with your video card vendor.

Nvidia had a "virtual desktop" utility that worked like my KDE Workspaces functionality.
