    hey guys watusp,

    well this just a little help for those that would like to add more to space to work with. i am a guy who was a using window xp pro and then just switched to ubuntu for about 8months. it is was really good. my favorite things was the extra desktop. and in windows it just sucks. windows doesnt have anything like that. but mac acquired the virtual desktop into their sweet os.

    you know something i have been using the multiple desktops for a long time. and i do use them. well i have been doing some research and i found some really nice software that will me the same feeling that i use to get when using ubuntu or any type of linux. i have tested out all different softwares like cubedesktop and virtual desktop manager. these 2 are my favorite cubedesktop is really nice it just gave me the compiz-fusion feeling but you know something ther is just too much for me i wont have need to use all of the features. it was just like eye candy. and plus it was expensive 20euro's.
    it does use alot of memory.

    but in the other hand i have been using virtual desktop manager. which is my favorite. it just the basic's of virtual desktop. plus it is a open source. the funny thing is that this one is so basic but i still disabled a load of features. try it out
