Windows: Any virtual desktop manager that uses desktop objects?

Question

Most virtual desktop managers for Windows simulate multiple desktops by hiding some windows and bringing others to the top.

Is there any virtual desktop manager for Windows that creates a different desktop object for each virtual desktop?

Sysinternals' Desktops does that.

Unlike other virtual desktop utilities that implement their desktops by showing the windows that are active on a desktop and hiding the rest, Sysinternals Desktops uses a Windows desktop object for each desktop.

nSpaces is another virtual desktop manager which uses desktop objects.

It has a bit more features than SysInternals Desktops, like configurable keyboard shortcuts, colors and wallpapers. However, it suffers the same limitations like Desktops.

Why not switch to Linux and virtualize Windows using Virtual Box? I am SURE, this is what you are really looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BtpNRgAERE
