Submission + - Virtual Desktops on Windows?

raist_online writes: After long years of X (and recently OSX) I'm now in a job that mandates windows and uses some windows-only tools, providing us with XP Pro installs. VMWare and dual head means I can still mostly live in X based goodness but I'm really missing a virtual desktop when I have to use windows — the MS powertoy [http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powe rtoys/xppowertoys.mspx] doesn't really cut it for me and I've been trying out Cooldesk [http://www.shelltoys.com/virtual_desktop/download .html] (some taskbar integration but not behaving well) and altdesk [http://www.astonshell.com/altdesk/] (OK but doesn't integrate into the taskbar).

I'm really looking for something as simple as the standard X pager — any other suggestions from the /. crowd?

Please note — I HAVE to use native windows for some things so suggestions for wine / VMWare inside linux are missing the point
