Nothing, really. I just tend to get too cluttered if all the windows are superimposed and find this way I can have on screen with perhaps 4 windows tiled, two with VS2010 maxed and one for email or whatever and on the taskbar there are four icons to instantly move between those desktops. And, as I said, if you have two or three monitors, each virtual desktop uses all three.
Give it a try - takes a about a minute to setup - and let me know what you think. If you don';t like it one mouseclick and it's all gone.,

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
