During the many, many vacant years of no available VDs in Microsoft,
I used a hobbyist virtual desktop to make up the deficiency:

http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net

This software is STILL BETTER than the current junk in W10.

Hobbyware puts MS to shame.

Because the feature is useless. I've used Windows 10 since release and
have yet to come up with even one reason why I would want virtual desktops.

Actually, you can. It only depends what kind of mouse you have.

No, there aren't. No amount of delusion will make that a reality.

It doesn't have to: the whole world has seen the alternative but decided
that Windows offers more and in better form.

That must be why people steer themselves away from hobbyware as though
it was the Black Plague.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!  You must compute like a little girl, or an old woman.
(Yes, a retarded little girl or a senile old woman.)

The virtual desktop is the most useful tool to eliminate clutter and 
induce extreme ease and convenience to the computing experience.  No one
with half a brain would ever pass it up.

Oh yeah?  Can you add extra buttons to your windows with Microsoft?

No f****** way!

On Linux I can define up to TEN extra buttons on my windows to serve
various functions.

Now what say you?

And while you Linux loons are tinkering with your system, us Windows users
are running the top tier applications. Oh and we also have access to some
of the better (that's not saying much for most though) FOSS applications
like LibreOffice, VLC, mplayer, gimp, ardour, audacity etc.

So in effect, us Windows users have more choice when it comes to QUALITY
applications than you Linux loons do.

And we get to run them on the latest high quality hardware utilizing all
the advanced features of that hardware.

Linux?

Good luck.

BTW, while virtual desktops are nice my 3 Samsung 27 inch LED monitors are
more than enough for me.

Believe it or not, I have everything that you have and a lot more.

(Well, I stopped with Photoshop 6 because I refuse to participate
in software-as-a-service subscriptions.)

But I still prefer Linux/OSS because they possess a far more professional
"feel," and configurability and extensibility are far more competent.

Heck, Microsoft, after all these long years, still has not made available
basic SIMD capability through its APIs.  This is truly shameful.

I keep Microsoft alive in order to accommodate the idiots of the world.
I do my work in Linux and then, when necessary, pass it through Microsoft
Windows before packaging and presenting to an external moron.

So the other 98.5 percent of the planet that uses something other than
Linux are morons but only the Linux users are superior?

That's funny.

Hint: The right tool for the job goes a long way towards productivity.
For *you* that tool might be Linux.
For the other 98.5 percent it's something other than Linux.

No you don't.
And certainly not at the same level of quality, features and support.
Stop kidding yourself.

You'll find this difficult to believe, but I agree with you.
If I had an alternative to subscriptions I would move on but I don't.
Many people feel the same way with that model of software licensing.

Specifically how?
Give examples.

Just so you know, this is a popular topic in COLA and to date not a single
Linux advocate has been able to build a case for what you are saying.

Configuration?
I'll give you that as Linux allows the end user to configure just about
everything and to the most minute level.
So how does this improve your productivity and how much time do you spend
tinkering vs getting work done?

Just what an average user needs.
<rolls eyes>

Linux, after all these long years, still can't manage to get power
management, to work correctly. Especially on laptops.

Which one do you think is more important to an average user?

Sounds like you are creating extra work for yourself.
There is an idiot in COLA who gets Word documents, modifies them in
LibreOffice and then converts them back to DOCx and sends them on their
way.
He has MSOffice BTW.

I wonder if his bosses would approve of that.

He should show Microsoft how pissed he is about their behaviour by
programming for Linux exclusively. That'll show 'em.

These "advocates" are silly mfs, that's for sure.  The worst of the 
creepy hypocrites is Chris Ahlstrom:

* "I wouldn't work for Microsoft for a billion dollars."  (but he'll
    write Windows code for 20+ years for a tiny fraction of it)

* "I've never bought anything but Windows laptops.  For years now."

Typical linux loon response.
Only true geeks use linux.  They have this need to tinker.

And yet most people haven't even noticed that Windows 10 supported
virtual desktops as a result of a lack of need for such a feature. If
you're a programmer, you might make use of such a thing but most people
won't and are quite happy with simply minimizing programs which are not
at use.

You mean to the window bar? Why would anyone care about such a feature?

I'm sure that Microsoft is very upset that they can't get that 1.5% of
computer users which never pay for software at all.

You mean spread the clutter to multiple desktops.

If you're organized, one desktop is plenty.

All this talk of "I keep my 8 programming apps open on one desktop, and 
6 email-related apps on another, and news on another" is total bullshit.

The avg number of apps Linux people have running is about 5.

> No one with half a brain would ever pass it up.

The smartest people in the world use MS Windows, and have for decades, 
and few to none of them run multiple desktops.

Apparently few Linux loons do, either, as evidenced by the fact that 
Mint - the most popular distro on distrowatch - now disables multiple 
desktops by default.
