Testing Windows 10 - Virtual desktops

Windows 10 is now out as a tech preview (for free) and im currently running it as my main OS, and have done so now for a couple of weeks. I will post a few things i've noticed as i get the time, first off:






  • Virtual desktops (sort off)
If you have used linux you probably know about virtual desktops, or if you have owned a ATI card with hydra vision (back in 2013 or so).
Now they have tried to adopt this into Windows but it's not the way you might know it from linux with totally separate desktops. This is more a way of minimizing/restoring apps in bulk (nothing disapears from the taskbar).

When running linux a few years ago i found this feature neat. But it didn't really improve my workflow, it rather just made my mess less visible and gradually hugging more and more ram in the background. This solution might be better in that regards, as everything stays on the taskbar so nothing is forgotten.

I've not yet been using this feature a whole lot but i like the idea.
