    Dear All

    A quick question, please:

    Which is better among the two listed in the thread title, for a virtual desktop on Vista Ult. 32?

    I'm looking for something that's easy to use, like switching between desktop', moving windows from one to the other, etc.

    Many thanks in advance :) Cheers.

    Edit: I just noticed Virtual Dimension and Dexpot listed in the free windows software sticky.. any idea on how good those are? Thanks again.

    Update:

    Alright, I tried both VirtuaWin and VDM, but for some reason, wasn't happy.. responsiveness of those program' seemed slow, and had a couple of hangs too. :(

    So, decided to try out Dexpot (from the windows free software sticky), and I must say, I feel happy with it. Customization was also easy, responds fast, and it looks good.

    Anyway, just thought I will get back with this here. :)

    Cheers.

    PS., I am not sure if this is worth being a separate thread, and may be the mods can move the posts to the free software sticky? I am sorry for the inconvenience, and I guess I should've posted these in the sticky in the first place. :( Sorry.
