activities can replace VDs for some people, depending on how they are used, 
but they are largely orthogonal. virtual desktops as a concept are about 
spatial organization of windows; activities are about semantic organization 
based on a "who, what, when" state.

that said, activities are meant to be a "for everyone" feature, while VDs are 
pretty much a power user thing (not our choosing, the market of ideas has 
simply spoken there :)
