@thebaldguy A lot of the improvements in Windows since Win2K is about how to manage multiple sessions. Win7 uses organised previews to group sessions and applications together in a way that makes switching easy.
So rather than trying to build function-specific desktops that you switch between (the 'workspaces' approach), the typical Win7 user just keeps it all in one place and opens what they need as they need it.
You can also pin applications and documents to the task bar now - and Win7 aware applications track recently used documents which can also be pinned to the application, making it easy to open regularly used documents.
Keep in mind, I'm NOT saying one is better than the other - they're just two different ways of interacting with and organising things.
