LTD Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I use Virtual Desktop Manager, which is a PowerToy from Microsoft. It's a brilliant tool, and I couldn't imagine computing without it. No more window clutter, each app/document can have its own space as well as wallpaper. Will some sort of virtual desktop capability come with Vista? I assume that eventually MS will release some kind of plugin/add-in for it, but it would be nice to know whether such a feature will come standard. I know there are some third-party apps that give you this functionality, but I'm specifically interested in Microsoft's plans regarding virtual workspaces. (Linux, for instance, has them built-in to KDE and GNOME, which surprised the hell outta me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Blue01 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I doubt it. If they have multiple desktops, user will be confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y_notm Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 There was a virtual desktop tile waaaaay back in build 3683, but we haven't seen anything else related to it since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTD Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm pretty sure MS will offer a plugin for it, or simply update the PowerToy they have now. For those interested in the Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager (and other Microsoft PowerToys), just google them. I think you can get them directly from MS' site, anyway. You don't have to get them all in one shot. They are available as separate downloads. Just get the ones you want. The MSVDM is very stable and works beautifully. It's very convenient. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore Max Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Maybe it will be included, I think right now it's too early to tell ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
