This (quite long) article has been written by me for two primary reasons: One, to hopefully save someone else the time and hassle associated with trying out various Linux distributions, and two, to promote some discussion and feedback regarding what a modern Linux distribution should be, and of course to contrast this with what is currently available. I am exploring the offerings of MS Windows, BeOS and MacOSX, and then taking on a number of well-known Linux distributions.
Please. I used them for about 5 minutes before uninstalling them - the PowerToys virtual desktops are awful, little more than an automatic minimize/maximize utility. Compared to any X implementation it felt clunky and unnatural.

Anyway, rant over - I thought this article was fair, nice to see somebody acknowledge the importance of Wine
