Topic: How often do you utilize Microsoft Windows multiple desktop feature?
On my personal machine, all the time. It helps me to segregate what is necessary for the tasks at hand (typically "work" and entertainment). It's also a convenient "privacy" switch when I need to keep something away from prying eyes… like today while I was at Starbucks. It's amazing how nosey coffee shop customers can be.
Now that I'm thinking about this, it would actually be useful on my work machine as well. I frequently run several browser instances with their own set of tabs and it would be very pragmatic to keep my desktop "pristine" for the current effort. For example, I usually have the Azure Portal and related diagnostic windows virtual desktop on Azure running that I constantly have to shuffle or minimize. Also, I usually have at least two Visual Studio instances running at the same time. It would be VERY useful (for me, anyway) to have each of those with the associated application-being-debugged on its own desktop. Yep, I'll be doing that when I had back to work.
