Apart from other great things various Linux Distributions offers, a very useful and most liked feature is virtual desktop windows. These workspaces are very useful for multitasking. Although Windows doesn’t have this feature built in but there are software out there which enable users to have this in Windows and Windows Pager is one of them. Being an open source application it will be a preferable choice for most of us.
