I heard Windows 7 was to include Virtual Desktop support, like Linux. However, I can't find this anywhere.

Anyone else?

I'm a day trader. You'd be amazed how much CPU power is required to backtest. This is just one of several machines in my home office. I don't play games with PC's, I have a PS3 for that.
I had not heard that Win 7 was going to natively support virtual desktops, but here is a link to a SysInternals program for this:

SHould work on any Windows version XP or newer but I have not tried it.

No it's not solved.

I was seriously looking for a solution and thought I found one when I saw this post.

This feature in Windows 7 doesn't look or feel anything like the virtual desktops on Ubuntu.
