I make much use of Ctrl-arrows to new virtual desktops on my MacBook to get more real estate, organize like-applications and windows, and help focus on a task at a time.
How can I get the same or similar feature to work in Windows 7?
The Ctrl-arrows behavior on Mac that I'm talking about include stuff like:
-
Keyboard shortcuts to slide to a new desktop
-
Sliding a window/app to an edge activates/moves the app to that virtual desktop
-
Zoom-out view allows you to see position and location of all windows on all desktops
-
Taskbar icon/view allows for easy two-click jump to any desktop
-
Remembers which apps open in which virtual desktop, on re-launch moves you to that desktop for app launch
(And, no, 'install Mac OS X' is not what I'm looking for.)

Yes, you can use virtual desktops in Windows utilizing the Sysinternals tools. Desktops is the module you want to use.
