After watching Matthew Wilson's excellent video and reviewing various FAQs and 
documents on the qubes-os web site I find myself with a basic philosophical 
question.  Currently I run CentOS 7 on a workstation and have installed the 
VMWare Workstation/Player environment.  I have a number of Virtual Machines 
created (CentOS, Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc.) which I run for various purposes.  
They are SOMEWHAT isolated from each other but not as well isolated as they 
would be in qubes-os.  The video and the screenshots on the qubes-os web site 
seem to show only single applications running in separate security domains. If 
it is desired to run two applications in the same security domain it is 
necessary to launch them separately from the dom0 menu.  I think this invokes 
two copies of the VM OS template, one for each application - although I might 
be wrong.  My question is...

Can qubes-os invoke a complete OS with Desktop, menu etc. within a security 
domain?  This would be similar to what I do in VMWare. I tend to run a given VM 
on one workspace and the second on a different workspace so that I can change 
between them and make good use of the monitor Real Estate. Does qubes-os have 
the concept of workspaces?

Thanks in advance,

Ken Taylor
