There also are APIs such as CreateDesktop or SwitchDesktop, I believe
those are what the VWM PowerToy uses. Note that iirc those are truly
separate desktops though, ie. on each desktop there's a separate
instance of the shell. Then again, given the list this is posted on, I
probably just stated the obvious. ;)
I think the tab itself should accept the drag and
drop. I hate hovering
waiting for it to open...
On another note -- is multiple desktop support going to be added? One thing
I think MS missed out on and only partially got right in XP (with fast user
switching) is a multi-desktop aware shell. The tab grouping and hidden
notification icons are cool as well.
There is already basic multi desktop support in Explorer. It doesn't use
"true" desktops because that's not compatible with notification (aka tray)
icons. It simply hides any window not on the current desktop like XP's explorer does.
