-
- The best use of the virtual window managers I've yet seen is as an
- implementation of the Rooms (Xerox?) metaphor.
-
- That is, put your word processing in one part of the virtual root,
- your accounting in another, and your file management in another.
-
- This produces an uncluttered, scalable approach (because the virtual
- can extend) to using the computer.
