Sounds interesting. Mike Asherman has MONTAGE publicly available, which also goes some way in this issue.

But I want to comment on your "people who are crazy enough...".
My guess is that such people will NEVER use such a thing - they have all those open windows because they don't understand the impact and are just 'trying to get at the next thing they need to complete the current job'.

2 days ago a friend was complaining that his system had slowed to a crawl. He had open:
- 9 IE windows
- 6 Outlook windows
- 5 Word windows
- several other 1-of windows
...on his 512MB motebook.
I can't see him ever implementing a product like you describe, and if he did it would really only hide the problem even deeper.

cheers

Once a particular desktop is selected, all other windows are hidden. Any window is assigned to one desktop; it is also possible to have "global" windows, which appear in all desktops.
