Pffft. Lifting concepts from Windows? You couldn't
be further from the
truth on that one. Every WM I ever used had multiple desktops, OSX
just got 'em, and Winders has yet to have that.
Apple's use of the "Dashboard" name in MacOS X suggests that everyone
has forgotten the HP product of the same name from lo these 11 years
ago. Which did multiple desktops on Win3.1 and made the 640x480
display on my Win3.1 notebook PC a lot more tolerable. I'm not
arguing that it was a first, but there were ways to get that
functionality on Windows, long enough ago for them to be on-topic
here.
