As usual, MS is playing catchup. Virtual desktops have been around for a very long time, and as mentioned, easily added.

Adding back the Start Menu sounds like a tacit admission that the Win8 "Metro" interface wasn't that good an idea.

It looks like a good fit for a tablet, but UI's aren't generally "One size fits all". I dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu Linux here, and passed on the default Ubuntu Unity interface. It's another that is well suited to devices with limited screen real estate like netbooks and tablets, but falls down on big monitors.

Also: "desktops" from the sysinternals suite works really good
I looked at it. I have all of the Sysinternals stuff here. It works well, but WindowsPager is a better fit for how I work.
