Have not yet seen all of the video (still downloading...), but one thing that I'm curious about. Will Windows Vista finally have virtual desktops?

What do you mean with finally? AFAIK virtual desktops have been available for Windwos since Win98 from Microsoft Power Toys (or Power Tools, something like that).

Windows XP was the first one with a powertool for virtual desktops, and even that doesn't have many features. There have been plenty of third party tools though, one of my favorites was Goscreen, but nowadays it's Virtual Dimension (sourceforge). It makes Windows feel like a real OS. :-P
