Quote:So that you can create separate environments for different tasks. You can have one set up for gaming, one set up for casual browsing, one set up for work, etc. Basically it reduces clutter because you aren't having to deal with the windows from every task when you are working on one task.

I can see a second use for certain tasks where you're working in one program but need to refer multiple other programs for the information you need. Instead of having to Alt-Tab between them all you could have the one you're working on full screen on one desktop and the other windowed in another desktop. Ideally, you'd have multiple monitors for something like this but no everyone is able or is willing to spend the money.
