I only gave this a try today, it seems really cool until Leopard gets released.

Messed around with virtual desktops with varying success but never seriously - I'm happy with Expose for now. :)
EDIT - however - it's bound to have the typical Apple flair when it comes out built into leopard so perhaps I'll enjoy it more then. :)

I've only been using it for a few minutes but its quite nice. Nice 3D transition effects and customizable keyboard shortcuts. Multiple desktops have been something I really missed from my Linux desktop.

Thats one of the two things I miss most having to use WinXP now:
1. Expose - My bottom right corner is set for Expose, and in WinXP I often find myself popping my mouse over to that corner, just to be shown the full date :( I had to start using ALT+TAB again ;)
2. No delete button - You get used to it so often, I still press FN+BS on the Dell instead of using the Delete button :p
