How is it done in Linux? I need it; if it is there. – becomingGuru Nov 4 at 7:51
right-click on the window, and select send-to-desktop-2,3,4... in GDM, i havent used kdm. I am so used to linux, but i am liking windows7, and strange i am looking for productivity replacements of linux on windows. :(. – Vivek Sharma Nov 4 at 7:52

Dexpot turns your monitor into up to 20. It creates and manages virtual desktops and enables you to work far more efficiently and comfortably with many simultaneously opened windows on Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 (incl. x64).

Dexpot is free for personal use.

Sysinternal's Desktops allows you to organize your applications on up to four virtual desktops. Read email on one, browse the web on the second, and do work in your productivity software on the third, without the clutter of the windows you’re not using. After you configure hotkeys for switching desktops, you can create and switch desktops either by clicking on the tray icon to open a desktop preview and switching window, or by using the hotkeys.

Desktops is freware and portable.

I've been using Dexpot since I found it, and it pretty much just works, which is the best recomendation one can have for a software – Bruno Lopes Nov 4 at 11:59
Dexpot is much better than Desktops, IMO. With Desktops, you can't send windows to another desktop, and Dexpot has a nice Windows 7 plugin that previews desktops in the task bar. However, Desktops requires extremely little memory in comparison. – Christian Davén Feb 16 at 7:27

Have a look at this thread in Seven Forums which mentions utlities like

Deskspace's solution is not free, comes with a 14 day trial.

Would be nice to copy the essential information from it, to have a useful answer here. – Gnoupi Nov 4 at 8:52

Still no good. In linux you can have differents shortcuts on the desktop. But I like it.
