The Vista/XP Virtual Desktops application provides an elegant and easy way to manage your desktops. Using Vista's new thumbnail window previews, Vista/XP Virtual Desktops can give you a full screen preview of all of your desktops. If you still have XP, Vista/XP Virtual Desktops gives you the same fullscreen preview with static thumbnails.

Vista/XP Virtual Desktops also contains many useful features such as per-desktop backgrounds, window menus, sticky windows, a mini-preview when you hover over the tray icon, and numerous configurable keyboard hotkeys. You can have as many virtual desktops as you want and they will all neatly arrange themselves in the switcher and in the mini-preview.
