- Multiple desktops *is* a feature. At an IBM OS/2 seminar this evening, they
- demonstrated the new 32-bit graphical rendering engine AND a system with
- multiple desktops:
-
- OS/2 1.3
- OS/2 2.0
- WinOS2
-
- and others. They said you could have the MSDOS5 DOSSHELL as an alernate
- desktop if you wanted. The desktops become windows and you can resize them,
- have multiple desktops open on the desktop, lots of really strange things are
- possible.
-
- Can you delete them? That's a good question.
