Windows implementation of multi desktop sucks rat’s ass !!

Oh yes it does

My biggest gripe is that I will launch some application on one desktop, switch back to the desktop I was working on and then when the application is ready in memory, it will appear on my current desktop.

@theuser yeah man , i am thinking how the fuck they decide to do that. That is such a dumb way of multitasking

Also they don’t show that a instance of application is running on other desktop on task bar

Multi-desktops are among the first things I disable when I'm using Linux. The only thing I hate even more is that crazy Compiz implementation where the desktops are surfaces of a fucking cube.

@Fast-Nop I hope you at least have wobbly windows.

@amatrelan I find them confusing. With one desktop, I just click in the one and only task bar to get an application to the foreground. I don't have to remember what application is on what desktop.

I can't remember whether drag & drop even works across desktops.

@theuser That is due to how process management works. When a program is launched, it isn't assumed to have a GUI, nor is it assumed to be opened from one. When a window opens, it will always open on the current desktop, regardless of how the requesting program was launched. GUI is a much, much thinner layer than you'd think.
