Task View: Windows
The real magic of Task View lies in Virtual Desktops. This feature allows you to create separate "rooms" for different types of work. For example, you could have one desktop for work emails and spreadsheets, another for creative projects like photo editing, and a third for personal browsing. To create a new one, open Task View and click the New Desktop button.
