Boy, Windows sure does suck
worker201:
Using growiso in Linux to burn DVDs is pretty processor intensive, but all I have to do is switch to another workspace, and I can use low-intensity programs like Seamonkey or Gaim or Open Office or Gimp with ease. So maybe the software does have something to do with it, maybe not. Being able to switch workspaces and be sheltered from any tough processes is very handy, as it makes multi-tasking easier.
piratePenguin:
You can use multiple workspaces in Windows too.
Virtual Desktop Manager @ http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
I've never used it before though.

Edit - whoops what I wrote here was wrong.

You realise LiteStep had that available in their alternative Windows shell about three years prior, right? I'd rather use a FOSS frontend with full text config than secure my userbase in a contract-of-ignorance with Microsoft. :cool:
Pathos:
That MS virtual desktop manager screws up Visual studio and MSDN at work for some reason
Windows sucks at multitasking, changing the priority doesn't do squat from my experience.
Hard drive access can also be too blame sometimes tho.
