Top Recommended Alternative

VirtuaWin 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.

VirtuaWin is a simple elegant tool that brings many of the desktop sharing advantages of Linux to Windows.

    Not stable. It's good until it stops working! A couple of times it happened with me. I updated a software already installed and then next time when I started the machine, it's simply not showing the icons in 3 extra desktops. That time even it's not possible to uninstall it also. Although it's switching perfectly between desktops. It could be the problem of the extra module for controlling icons or the main program.
