    Some updates:

    1. "The ability to drag and drop open windows into a minimized Virtual Desk. This ability will give users a simple way to rearrange open windows between desktops without cumbersome dragging between screens".



    2. "Use Alt+Tab to move between open applications, you may put an app on a desktop and not readily remember where it was you left it last. No worries as the Alt+Tab combo will slide you right to the corresponding desktop where your app is open once you’ve selected it".
