Yep, pretty much what Windows has had as an extra feature since  
Windows 98 (via the PowerToys add-on), BeOS has had all along, and  
Linux has had for quite awhile.  OSX can have up to 16 virtual  
desktops (4 rows by 4 columns), BeOS PE 5.0 could have up to 32!!!!   
 From when I remember trying with the PowerToys add-on for Windows 98/ 
XP, it had 4 desktops.

Although for me, the multiple desktops just get more confusing as I  
get older.  Easier to just Alt-Tab(Cmd-Tab on OSX) 5-15 different  
programs than it is to switch to another Space and then do some more  
Cmd-Tab'bing.
