I seem to recall configureing atl+tab to cycle through all programs independantly of which workspace they are in. I can look it up if useful. It should be only useful if you run a small amount of programs at the samd time.
Also, if I remember correctly, you can 'tear' out a tab from a web browser and drag it to a new workspace as a new window.

I think, though I have not used it, that kde (kubuntu) had the multiple desktops organized in activites which should do (if not, by tweaking) what you mentioned of 'as if it was an individual computer'. 

Then there is the virtual machine stuff that I know even less about.
