Windows 10 certainly does do multiple workspaces, [Windows]-[Tab] brings
up the "WorkSpaceManager", etc.. That said, I certainly prefer CTWM on all
my *NIX boxes - been using it since the mid-ninety's.

round at either end).

I do the same - General, e-Mail, Web Browser (currently 23 tabs), Play
(I'm retired now [Grin]), Project-of-the-Month, Other Work, etc. Wouldn't
be without CTWM on my boxes - it works the way I do.
