Re: That's hilarious
The issue with multiple desktops, is being reminded they are in use!
So as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy for the taskbar to only show the running applications for this desktop; but I also expect the taskbar to show me a reminder that I'm running multiple desktops and give me a simple and obvious mechanism for me to see what I have running in each.
[Aside: I agree the constantly changing UI/UX is distracting from all the other changes; but then that might be deliberate, as then MS would have to explain what they actually meant by 'faster', 'more secure', 'reliable' and 'flexible'.]
