If you're multitasking on a single monitor, all you have to switch between tasks is the taskbar, or alt+tab. Alt+tab switches between windows, but most tasks require a collection of different windows. Eg right now I'm stuffing about on HN and some other sites (1) while waiting for my code to compile (2) after which I'll be executing my app and testing it (3) while checking my mail and real-time IM (4) Ideally I'd have four dedicated monitors - but on my one work monitor I'd settle for four virtual desktops that I can cycle through similar to alt+tab.
