      Thx for sharing this great freeware. it’s looks nice. i currently use Cool Desk, which is also a virtual desktop manager. And it can create up to 9 virtual desktops. You can find it on http://www.sharewarecheap.com/....._2132.html

      Smith,

      Thanks for letting me know about another freeware….

    3. I always wanted to try this out, and now thanks to you sharing this awesome freeware, I’ve got my ticket. I really enjoyed having multiple desktops while I was working in RedHat, and I always thought it would have made a killer feature to be included in Windows – and it is:)

      Cheers!

      This is a great little tool, especially for me; I recently stopped using Litestep, which supported multiple desktops, so it’s nice to have this feature in another format.

      Another tool is Mosaico from Soulid Studio (www.soulidstudio.com). It’s a little bit different because you can arrange windows and take a “snapshot” to restore later. So you can have the same window in many “virtual desktops” (aka snapshots). It also do an automatica arrangement of windows that make them occupy all the monitor surface. And when you drag or resize windows it accomodates the other ones to mantain the monitor surface full covered.

      nice tool!
      does it work like a virtual PC or just like desktop setting management?

      I have to test it.

      @Jomar

      Thank you! Mosaico is not a virtualization tool, it works more like a virtual desktop management tool, but it’s more powerful. In fact it is not based on the concept of “virtual desktop” but on “snapshots”. This means that a specific application can stay into each snapshot you take (up to 8) and is not tied to any particular virtual desktop.
      Moreover it has a nice auto-arrangement feature to take advantage of the full screen area.

      You can download the trial from http://www.soulidstudio.com .
      If you need a discounted full license to review it on your blog please let me know.
