Ok, probably fake but some interesting ideas nonetheless.

The multiple desktop animation looks interesting, but I'm not sure why
it is only affecting the windows and not the Dock. Probably a fake for
that reason, unless Leopard has virtual desktops (with the same Dock).

I can't see Apple putting in virtual desktops to be honest. Since
Expose is a good solution to window overcrowding, and since there's
hide app too, I think they won't want to put in a third way to deal
with the problem. Demand for it is small, albeit vocal perhaps, and I
think they'll just let third parties supply that demand.

At this point in my post someone will come along with a well-founded
rumour or confirmed reports that it is a feature.
