[Oh – and Windows XP, Vista etc]

Every so often I yearn for the virtual desktop functionality that is implemented so well under Linux. Unfortunately every time I start looking for a great tool for Windows I ultimately end up disappointed.

But … I think this time around I have actually found one that will outlast the first day or two and become a must have.

Check out https://www.dexpot.de/

So far this is 100% stable, 100% sensible and offers awesome functionality, yet still is very simple to use.

There is a detailed look at the many features on the site but a couple that do it for me:

Desktop Manager and next/previous tray icons make it easy to navigate around:

Announcement of Desktop as a desktop takes focus:

And best of all, Windows 7 preview integration

And… it is FREE for private use and you get 30 days to try it out for professional use (e.g. me)
