100% agreed on this as well

as far as I can decipher is that Activities are more a subset of virtual 
desktops........or was that the other way 'round???

I have seen nothing that shows how they are different from each other, outside 
of separate widgets on each (not including panels for some reason)

I seldom use virtual desktops, other than to show off the Desktop Cube :) but I 
do like Activities, my hardware doesn't like them, however :(
