Do you use spaces or any multiple workspaces?

Both Mac and Linux offer workspace functionality where the user is allowed to use multiple working areas which are easily switchable. I find it weird that this feature is not available in Windows. Who uses this feature? I know I couldn't be as productive as I am without it.

space windows work mac spaces workspace linux

1	I always forget its there :o) I did use it back when I first got my iMac, but then moved away from it when Lion came along. Don't know why really.... answered Jun 28 '12 at 15:46 Lee Wood 2.4k●28●39●69 I was the same until I remembered it! (Jun 28 '12 at 15:48) Fish

1	I loved using it on my linux machine. I have not had a chance to reopen my linux machine with the last 7-8 months. answered Jun 28 '12 at 22:04 Compucore 2.4k●11●19●25

1	I use it heavily on my more capable Linux machines. Alt+Ins and and Alt+Del to add or remove workspaces on the fly. answered Jun 29 '12 at 12:00 Kris 326●2●6

0	I don't really use it at all no. Seems like a gimmick that doesn't provide much use. Just one extra thing to do. answered Jun 29 '12 at 00:54 Drmgiver 1.2k●2●5●22

0	I use CubeDesktop. It is just like spaces for mac, and you can do different animations and such. Its neat. Its not free, and its fairly dated, but runs on Win7 ultimate with no hiccups. answered Jun 29 '12 at 11:39 swagmanT 540●32●41●54
