The Winders scheduler is agreeably horrible. After adding a few
things (like virtual desktops, etc) and turning off the condescending
Tele-Tubby icons, the Winders desktop is almost useable. Of course, once
one wants to *DO* anything while something is going on in the background,
it becomes single-tasking again just like the default GUI.
Sheesh... UNIX has been doing this for 20 years.
