Aqua-Soft ForumsIs there some multi-desktop manager like spaces for Windows?
OSX Spaces for Windows?
umm..that one is wholly retarded...
if you want one that actually looks like some hacker didn't cook it up in 10 minutes
get Yodm 3D...although its been renamed to somethign else thats the name iremember..do a search.
Ballena, I've tryied the MS product a long time ago, but let's face it - it's just a wretched version of Spaces (you can't move windows from one desktop to another, you can't view all the desktops together).
soulitary - tryied it just before submit this my first post. It's buggy (some windows are visible everywhere, some not) and I don't need that cube effect - it's not comfortable to use it.
tonym130, can't get to link you've posted. Maybe servers are overload? I'll try later.
Yea just keep trying it... It does that sometimes.
I know Virtual Desktop Manager sucks :-)
Don't know of a specific Spaces clone but, IMO Dexpot is the best free Virtual Desktop app for Windows.
Dexpot is quite good, but this is not a bad choice either (http://www.free-soft.ro/desktop/desktop.html , It's open source and easy on the resources too)...
I was quite impressed with VirtuaWin. As I recall you were able to specify profiles for which applications should open on which desktop. The way in which you allocate windows to desktops is a little counter intuitive, until you get the hang of it.
As much as I like YODM3D/Deskspace, they are not really desktop managers until they provide some way of actually managing the desktops, other than just flipping them around.
I'm using Vista/XP Virtual Desktops.

this is one of the proest multi-desk software ever

I use a virtual desktop manager with all my oses. For windows I use Dexpot. It works with Windows 200O, XP, and Vista. Dextop is free.
With Dexpot I can do the following
1. Create up to 20 virtual desktops. Most virtual desktop managers in windows only allow you to create 4 virtual desktops.
2. Use it on a flash drive. The program does not need admin rights to run.
3. Get a full screen preview of all the virtual desktops in use
4 Use all the features of Mac expose in Windows.
5. Move windows from one desktop to the other using the keyboard mouse and desktop preview. Most virtual desktop managers for windows failed to move the command prompt. In Dexpot you can only the command prompt by keyboard shortcut.
6. Name each desktop.
7. Give each desktop a different set of desktop icons and background images.
8. Set applications to open on a specific desktop.
9. Change keyboard shortcuts for the indiviual functions of the application.
10 The user is able to escape the application if you need to. Example keyboard shortcut conflict between Dexpot and another program. The program will move all application windows to the current desktop. This helps to prevent lost application windows when the program closes.
