Using Virtual Desktops in Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| As a Microsoft Windows user, you may not be familiar with the concept of 
| having multiple "desktops" as it is not a feature of Windows. 
| 
| There are some third-party applications and one from Microsoft itself (but it 
| is a PowerToy and you might already be familiar with my assessment of their 
| attitude towards something they name a "toy") which will give you this 
| functionality. However, I have always found that my computer was wildly 
| unstable with these applications running and I had to uninstall them.

Flipping the Linux switch: Switching, literally, with Ulteo Virtual Desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| Like andLinux, Ulteo's Virtual Desktop (often referred to with the rather
| misfortunate name UlteoVD) runs off a coLinux base. There is no
| virtualization software involved. But we'd especially recommend UlteoVD for
| those pondering whether a Linux switch could work for them, for a number of
| reasons.We'd recommend UlteoVD first to people who are currently using or
| could see themselves using their previous services. Ulteo started by offering
| OpenOffice.org in a browser, coupled with syncing services. Nice, for sure.
| They then offered an installable Ulteo disk, which felt a lot like Ubuntu in
| many ways, with the noticeable difference of automatic updates (as in, no
| user interaction) and syncing with the browser based services.
