Yes! I did miss it very much! Although i did find an addon to do it that makes use of the Vista Aero API's. I too would rather not install 3rd party software to do this sort of thing but at least this one uses DWM to do it. You'll find it by googling "Vista/XP Virtual Desktops". This is faster than the 3d cube one which I found quite annoying when you've selected a cube-side and your just waiting for the desktop to become live again.
If you want something a little quicker you could use VirtuaWin, it's not so pretty to look at but still fine to use.
Be aware with Vista/XP Virtual Desktops on a laptop is that you probably don't have a num-pad, so you have to set the hotkeys to use the normal number keys... unfortunately windows vista (maybe xp too) uses Win+number keys to access quicklaunch programs and even removing your quicklaunch bar wont free these hotkeys up. so you'll have to change the hotkey's prefix to win+shift or something else.
