VirtuaWin - The Virtual Desktop Manager For Windows

For all the Linux geeks out there using Virtual desktops, Yay for you. They keep everything neat and organized, and they provide extra work space. I especially like them when using blender along with tutorials, so you can switch from blender to your web browser easily, without any confusion. But what about windows? A lot of people think Windows can't handle virtual desktops just because its, 'Windows' (Hints the name). Well, it can. For free too. :)

Software- "VirtuaWin"
My Rating - 4/5
License - Free
Pros - Simple, Customizable Hot keys & mouse, Run as many as 9 desktops
Cons: No 3d Effects (Such as a desktop Cube)
CNET Editor's Rating - None Yet
Operating Systems -Windows Vista, Windows 95, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 98
Website - http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/
Website Description - "VirtuaWin is a virtual desktop manager for the Windows operating system (Win9x/ME/NT/Win2K/XP/Win2003/Vista). A virtual desktop manager lets you organize applications over several virtual desktops (also called 'workspaces'). Virtual desktops are very common in Unix/Linux, and once you get accustomed to using them, they become an essential part of a productive workflow." (http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/)

Overall, i think this is a great software for graphic designers, or any daily computer user. Check it out! Comment and tell me what you think!

Of course for me Linux Mint still is good, so I have no need for this ;-) . But still, awesome :D.
