Flippant Remarks about Free Virtual Desktop Managers for Windows

First of all, this Virtual Desktop Manager post is confined to free solutions to this Windows design problem. Free is important because GNOME is free and open—and has this concept built in. So let’s be flippant:

The best one is Virtual Dimension. Period. It does everything needed by me:

  • It supports one or more Desktop Wallpaper backgrounds.
  • Windows can be moved from one Virtual Desktop to another.
  • It supports keyboard shortcuts.
  • It does not ‘break’ or ‘crash’ (vanish). It’s stable. Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager (MSVDM) is a loser because you can’t move Windows among virtual desktops. Multiple Wallpaper support is inconvenient and unstable.

Virtual Desktop Toolbox looks interesting but Virtual Dimension got to me first.

Compass is “dead” and sDesk is “closed.”
