“Manage your applications Linux style”

by Nick Mead

Have you ever needed to organise your work over several desktop environments? VirtuaWin is a virtual desktop manager which allows you to do this over several workspaces.

The program is small, fast and easy-to-use and doesn't overload itself with unnecessary features. It sits in the system tray and supports the addition of small plugins without weighing down VirtuaWin. Although virtual desktops are a relatively new concept in Windows, they have been common in Unix systems for a while and although it takes some getting used to, you will find numerous advantages. By separating different areas of your work over different workspaces, you can avoid confusions caused by mixing folders and tasks. You can also make a clearer distinction between that work which requires prioritising and that which doesn't. With plenty of add-ons to customise it according to your needs, you should find that VirtuaWin increases your productivity or even helps you decide whether to switch to Linux or not.

A simple elegant tool that brings many of the desktop sharing advantages of Linux to Windows.
