I do like the way Linux has multiple desktops (and Mac does with Desktop Manager) - does anyone use any multiple desktop applications for Windows? If so - which ones?

MS provide one in in Power tools - it ain't great, but it does the job.

Look for Virtual Desktop Manager:

If you have an Nvidia graphics card and forceware drivers installed, you have multiple desktops facility already installed. Just turn it on.

Boo!

What if I'm at work and I'm using a Dell with Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV? See, even my PC isn't 100% sure on the model graphics chipset its using!

Cheers tho spooky, my home machine is running a 7800GTX so I might enable that feature!
