This time around, they are actively seeking feedback from anyone willing to load the alpha or beta version onto their computer.
Hopefully they listen...

No beta testing for me. I want to be able to USE my computer. 
I like what I see though and will buy it when it is released. Though I have to say.... MS is really SLOW on some of those "new" things. Back in the 90's we had virtual desktops. I have been waiting a VERY long time for Windows to have a functional virtual desktop offering.

I can access my work computer from home in a "virtual" environment via Citrix.
Maybe Citrix has a home version of their product you could use.

I think that might be what is known as a "remote desktop". NX (which also works on OSX and Linux) and VNC are other such remote desktop solutions. A virtual desktop is just a desktop which is larger than what can be shown (simultaneously) on the monitor.

Exactly, or even 3 or 4 extra "monitors". You can then navigate to these other desktops by clicking on a little map in the system tray or with a key sequence such as ctrl-alt-left/right/up/down etc.

At first I thought I had mislead Chryssie, but I still beleive she could use Citrix,
At work I can access two desktops. The main one and the one from my old (pre merger) company.
So that is in effect mutiple desktops, making it both remote and virtual.

They skipped 9. All of their good releases come in odd numbers.
