Actually there have been a number of alternative GUI shells (with
the feature of multiple desktops/workspaces) for MicroSloth Windoze.

There were started back in the 98 and XP days, but most people are
sadly totally unaware of their existence.

Three of the original major players 

     Litestep    <http://www.litestep.NET/>

     LDE(X)      <http://ldex.terica.NET/>

     AstonShell  <http://www.astonshell.COM/>

More recent actively developed alternatives are included in the review at

     <http://www.online-tech-tips.COM/software-reviews/7-best-windows-alternative-shell-replacement-programs/>

If people want to run Windoze programs in a Windoze like system,
they should be looking at ReactOS which has finally started to
gather momentum/gain traction.
