So what is even the point of multiple desktops on WIndows 10?

It’s not like it’s useful, one change to one desktop reflects across all of them, so I can’t set up an “art desktop”, a “programming desktop” and a “general fucking around desktop” since the shortcuts on the desktop/taskbar/start menu itself would all be amalgamated anyway, so it all just becomes three big “general fucking around desktops”.

I’m failing to see the point of it.

It’s for people who have fuckloads of windows and applications open at the same time, like me <_>

I use multiple desktops to homework, mostly. Having Word or Visual Studio in any state other than maximized bugs me out so I have a separate desktop for that with the assignment details or program specs on another. And I switch between them using [Ctrl]-[Win]-[Right] or [Left]

Some people separate their IM stuff and browser windows into other desktops as well.

To me at least, it’s much easier to work with instead of [Alt]-[Tab]ing through a long list of open windows the time. I remember falling in love with Spaces on Mac OS X when I used it years ago, so having it natively on Windows makes me happy.

(Not to say that having separate desktop icon arrangements wouldn’t be super cool, though. o: *writes a note to Microsoft*)
