On my central monitor, I can have an instance of firefox, ftp connection, ssh client, navicat sql, etc. We can call this "Development Desktop", and then yet another custom desktop of programs and tools for another task which "remembers" it is on my right monitor.

In Windows 8.1, it remembers each application and positions it exactly on the monitor where it was previously opened. I love this and the fact it has independent taskbars.

The way I am reading this new feature in Windows 10 is that I can create custom desktops for each monitor and tailor it to have specific tools, spreadsheets, docs, etc on a per desktop basis.

So, if client A calls me and needs something done, I can toggle "Client A Desktop" and it would display on its designated monitor, with all the information and tools to do with their account within a single click. If that's the case, sign me up.

Windows 8.1 already increases productivity. A feature like the one described above in Windows 10 would further increase it.
have you tried something like this?

Unix (and that includes Mac OS) has always had that but i never really got used to it
