I was searching around on this forum and the internet and I couldn't find anything on modifying Windows XP (or even Vista) so that you can have multiple desktops similar to Linux. I find this to be one of the best features about Linux flavors and I was hoping someone here might know if it is possible on Windows. If so, how does it do for performance?

More info @ http://virt-dimension.sourceforge.net/ This looks perfect! Alt Desk looks great but I'm cheap and don't want to pay for it. But I like the sourceforge version and I'll try it out tonight. I saw a picture of Deskman Powertoy and I dont care for it. I like being able to see what is in the other workspaces. Thanks for the links. If there are any others or modifications that can be made, let me know. |
