What's Going On ?

I'm curious to know how many people actually USE the staggered-window view or the "jump to desktop" taskbar features that come with Vista. I think the only time I actually use the stuff is to show it to friends who want to know "what's so cool about Vista". As two things that I think were the most advertised during Vista's release, it seems really underused.

I use this all the time, I usually have so many windows open that having this quick feature is of great importance and use to me. I don't think most really use it, but I do a lot of web development.

Jump to desktop has been available for a long time. Certainly I have it on this XP machine.

The other features have generally been available on linux or Mac distros for a while.

Funny how Microsoft always seems to be last to catch on to things like this; it reminds me of how MSN messenger was always one or two steps behind Yahoo messenger. The "draw" feature and "radio" feature, for example, came in only after Yahoo had already had it around for a while.
