I run Win7-x64-Professional, and I'm hating that Win7 still does not support multiple desktops natively. I googled and there are a few solutions I found, but I don't know which ones are trustworthy and which ones are fully functional. For reference, I just need something that supports multiple desktops like XFCE has. Nothing pointless like Gnome's "animate while switching between desktops" stuff.

I know Windows XP/2003 has a tool from Microsoft for virtual desktops. It was kinda sucky, but did the job. I think it was a powertoy. Does it work?

Aye, for XP it was a PowerToy.

Did anyone have any luck finding this? I like to have lots of desktops, too! It makes me feel like I have more monitors than I can afford. :)
errr... something like that...

Nope. PowerToys is for XP and is pretty sweet.

For Win7 the most recommended I found on the googles is Dexpot. I have no idea to its merits, which is partly why I asked.
