Virtual Desktops for Win32?

Posted by Cliff on from the we-need-more-screen-real-estate dept.

OK, I've been doing this for over a year now and I have yet to ask a question of my own. I feel compelled to now. Since I'm now developing for NT (hack! wheeze!) I'm finding that I quickly run out of screen real-estate (believe me...MSDev is greedy for screen space). I'm wondering what good Virtual Desktop programs there are available for the Win32 platform. I'm sure some of you have suggestions out there. I'm interested in hearing them.

  1. Litestep by Gleef · · Score: 2

    Litestep is good, powerful, flexible, no more unstable than Windows Explorer, and best of all, GPLed.

    If you run LiteSpawn as well, Litestep becomes even more stable than Windows Explorer.

  2. Windows NT Resource Kit by IntlHarvester · · Score: 2


    My understanding is that Windows NT (not 9x) has virutal desktop support built-in, just not enabled by default. The Resource Kit has some virtual desktop tools, although admittedly I haven't had the best luck with them.
