You probably would’ve noticed the dotted underlined red lines under misspelt words which are typed into text boxes/forms/fields.

For something that comes free and built-in into some Operating Systems [read: *nix), there are a couple of 3rd party tools (including Microsoft's own) to enable the replication of the Virtual Desktop concept on Windows.
