Exactly. True multitasking and production are not what a typical home
user will do. Instead hey might get confused about where their windows
went if they accidentally click on it. I remember my parents having
trouble with the concept of windows when they started computing,
adding virtual desktops would not have helped...

And I think the default setup should probably concentrate on home
users since workplace setups usually have custom configuration adapted
to the needs and policies of the businness anyway.
