I have a dual monitor (soon to be a three-monitor) setup. I am running windows 7 and my machine is capable of anything (no worries about memory hogs or intensive cpu loads).
What I would like to do is have virtual desktops / workspaces like you find in linux/solaris/mac. I have considered 360Desktop because I thought that would allow me to make better use of multiple monitors without any hacking. However, I wanted to know what else is out there.
One feature that would be great is to have one monitor as a home (never changing) and the other monitor to have multiple spaces. But I could still drag from home to any currently used workspace and vice-versus. It might also be cool if each monitor could have multiple workspaces.
GIGANTIC EDIT: I am in college and would prefer not to spend money on something like this, so please suggest something open-source

Update
We posted a couple of freebies earlier today in this thread:
Virtual Desktop Manager for Windows 7
however, i can only recommend this baby for any multi-monitor environment:
... it's got it all (including virtual desktops, expandable Taskbar with Start Button/Orb on each monitor)
Actual Window Manager is shareware, try before you buy.
If you're looking for a Window Manager, there is a free alternative alternative, not bad, but it can't hold a candle Actual Window Manager:
Eusing's Auto Window Manager
