DeskSpace itself is 4 years old, and is one of the many virtual desktop utilities available for Windows. Virtual desktops were available on Unix and *nix before the first line of Linux code was ever written. Even the "desktop cube" isn't new: Mac OS X implementations of a "desktop cube" pre-date Compiz Fusion by several years. I guess you could say Linux stole from Mac then? ;) We certainly don't claim to have invented virtual desktops or desktop cubes, but then again neither did Linux, in the same way that neither Windows, Linux, or Mac invented the concepts of "windows", "icons", and "desktops". Revolutionary concepts eventually find their way into all operating systems. Virtual desktops and desktop cubes extremely useful, whichever OS you choose to use, and we're proud to have developed one of the leading virtual desktops for Windows.
