Is there a Windows XP equivalent of the Linux Desktop Workspaces ?
In Linux desktops, there is a notion of multiple workspaces. These workspaces reduce the cluttering of active applications. In Windows, often too many applications are shown in the start bar that it gets too confusing to identify which application is which.
For example, one may open several Word document. On the start bar, the user could only see a lot of active Word application running. Therefore, there is no quick way of getting to the right instance of Word quickly. Segregating the intances into different workspaces would help as in Linux.

There’s a Windows XP Powertoy that offers virtual desktops. Just look up Windows XP powertoys and you should find it.
I know the kind of thing you mean, I remember that from using UNIX at Uni. Anyway, there’s no way to do that with XP ‘out of the box’ but there’s a Powertoy written by MS themselves called "Virtual Desktop Manager" that gives you up to four virtual dekstops. I haven’t tried it myself but it’s free and worth a shot.
