    I got too used to Workspaces on Linux, so I found these for when using Windows. Incase you didn't know yourself ....Here you go ...... :)


    Dexpot 1.4

    My Favorite. It's Grid-Vista like(by default), just double click taskbar icon and click on workspace any workspace window.
    Alot of options in the way you can set up workspce menus.

    Flaw: Seems to only keep Vista Sidebar on first Workspace when using on XP. I haven't tested on Vista yet.

    VirtuaWin

    More discreet and professional looking. Right click icon and select.

    Flaw: The Next button(right click) doesn't go all the way around. You have to press the previous button to go back counter clock wise. Also you can't just click the workspace.

    Wow, very neat. What have been your experiences with Dexpot on your system? Definitely a nice idea, and it's free! How necessary do you think this is in Vista?

    Works pretty good, and easy to disable when you don't need Workspaces. It's just a great tool to have when you need more space. Also a great tool to hide stuff. I like to keep my Itunes playing my playlist on Max size. Now I can hide it on a workspace while playing and switch to it easy with dexpot or VW.
