    Is there any way to have multiple desktops in Windows Vista (Linux style).

    I'm only interested in the open programs. I don't really need completely different desktops with different icons.

    Nice application. It doesn't seem to work with Windows Vista, though.
    Also, I was expecting thumbnails of the desktops in the task bar, or at least in the widgets panel.

    I found this great option: http://www.stardock.com/products/vwm/index.asp. Not free, but probably worth it.

    The one I posted looks better. It is better integrated with Windows. It's 5 dollars cheaper and allows up to 25 desktops... Although I'll probably just use 4. :eek:

    But I like the 3D of Otaku Software (but not enough to make it worth it).
