By the way, this guy has so many things wrong it's amazing...
Apart from the stuff that you can get as a free download or inexpensive
add-in (such as virtual desktops), here's everything that's wrong:
Klipper: Office XP and 2003 include a clipboard manager tool. It does one
better and allows you to copy multiple items to the clipboard and then past
them back in reverse order, or choose any item from the list. There's also
any number of free ones like ClipDiary

The Network Monitor is part of TaskManager, and TaskManager need not be
always on top. There's a setting.
XP has a user configurable set of "panels" for common tasks, but you have
to use the new menu (which morons like this seem to always turn off right
away, then bitch because functionality they want isn't there when they
deliberately turned it off).
Windows List: Task manager provides this, just right click on the taskbar
and choose TaskManager or Ctrl-alt-del.
He complains about the behavior of the control panel, but he's using it in
HTML mode, which works like HTML links (single click) if he wants double
clicks, go to classic view.
Windows can't be resized? Lots of windows in X can't be resized either,
the apps deliberately disable it for a reason.
Locking the screen: Ctrl-alt-del, lock computer or in Vista there will be a
button for this in the Windows Menu (it's not a start menu anymore)
Screenshots: He claims you can't capture a single window but is wrong,
Alt-Prtscrn captures the currently selected window, or use any number of
free and inexpensive third party tools if you want a fancy gui.
Run As: Yes, it does work with control panel apps, you have to use
shift-right-click or you can use the Runas command from the command prompt.
Every desktop looking the same, not true at all. Plenty of free and cheap
tools to customize your desktop any way you like, moving buttons around or
removing them entirely.
and so on.. and so on...
