Virtual desktops: gotta love it!

As you may remember, I am forced to use windows (for compatibility reasons) for a short while. One of the major annoyances (to me) is the lack of virtual desktops. Now, Microsoft has released a so-called “PowerToy” which enhances Windows XP with virtual desktops. Nice idea, but horribly slow. Being used to Ubuntu nowadays, I really love switching desktops all over the place. Plus, I use that to keep my task bar organised — not too many apps per desktop, but rather more desktops.

Well, a quick google uncovered the following gem: VirtuaWin.  I’ve been using it for about 5 minutes now. It feels right at home, and WinXP now feels like Ubuntu with a weird theme. I love it :) (and that after 5 minutes ;)
