The BeOS has "workspaces," which are multiple virtual desktops that you can switch between. Multiple monitor support is in the works for a later release.

See the BeOS User's Guide, chapter 6 "Customizing the BeOS", for more details regarding Workspaces and how to use them.

Can I drag applications or files onto the Deskbar?

Why does my background screen not display in the Preview Release?
