Correct on the folder issue. I appreciate widgets, since I have them with Android (battery and resource hogs most of them).

Still, in regards to shortcuts to programs or other links:

Example is with my desktop or even Android, I can create a folder and place shortcuts into them. Exmaples of folders that I have that helps to reduce clutter and make it easier to find the app I want to run:

Media folder has Tunewiki, Shazaam, Youtube, Jetflicks, Netflix, gallery
Game folder has all of my games and emulators
Tools folder has calculators, stop watch, drawing tools
Call folder has all of my direct, one press calls

I am not listing all the apps in the folders, but point is this method seems far more clean and orderly rather than sprawling stuff over four desktops.

This issue and the lack of portrait mode will be big issues to almost everyone but most on this board.

Linux desktop gives the ability to create folders just like other OS's including mobile ones like WM and Android.

Respectfully seems an obvious feature to have unless scrolling amongst four desktops and locating the apps seems cleaner and more effiecient.
