StarDock released "Tiles"

[f0rk_b0mb]

This looks kinda like Windows 8's Multitasking sidebar. Makes sense to get it ready for Windows 8. I don't know why someone would want to use this over the quick launch icons, but...OK...I guess some people might like it....Enjoy!

Edit: Looks like it is also kind of a virtual desktop program too....

I would only be interested if it was free and it's not :(

[ahhell]

Uh...so this is an "Alt + Tab" app?

Who would buy this? :s

[f0rk_b0mb]

Yeah. I agree everybody. This is a waste of time, at least in windows 7, that is.

I don't have a video handy but the main benefit of it is to let you manage what you're working on in terms of "pages".

So think of it as a cross between a launcher, a virtual desktop program, and a sidebar.

any chance of a free version like you got going on with fences?

[moloko]

10$. well at least they are trying different things. Not something I would buy but if this was free I would try it out to see if it could work for my workflow.

Tiles is freeware actually. It's just that it has a bunch of extra features you can add to it (like skinning.

aww, ok.... the free link isn't the most accessible one though.

You have Alt+tab which uses the middle of the screen, taskbar at the bottom, metro winkey+tab at left, and this on the right? :p

Oh well, someone will probably find use to this. Dexpot+trusted Alt+tab is what I use.

Woha. I just looked. You're right, the free download version is kind of buried.

Here's the link:
