I thought this thread won't be complete unless we mention GoScreen and Altdesk. I look for 3 things in a VDK...
- stable: if this utility crashes/hangs you loose all your windows. You will see them in taskmgr but loose their interfaces.
- Uses pager to switch desktops so you can visually tell what apps is running where.
- Ability to manage windows e.g. move, pin, assign, and min/max/restore them.

I used Altdesk for over 2 years now but recently it started crashing on me. It was not able to handle unresponsive apps which caused it to become unresponsive itself. I went on a pursuit to look for an alternative and how glad I was to find GoScreen. I've been using it for a week now and it delivers very well. I need more time to test it, but so far is has been a true winner. Please check it out http://www.goscreen.info/

I've tried almost every one out there. The top 3 where FD, GreatNews, and Awasu. GreatNews was truly the best. Even though it is freeware, but I would've paid to own it.

Mouser,
I do not know if it is only me or it is for real. I'm noticing that FARR is now slower than what it used to be before in the earlier releases of this beta. I can characterize it as follows...

- FARR skipping letters as you type fast.
- FARR taking 3-5 seconds to show results specially when you do alias search. I noticed that the larger your alias collections the slower it gets.

It would be nice if others confirm or dispute these findings. It is just this is so critical of a behavior I thought I should bring it to the foreground now.

Thanks

Did not see the discount for FastFox, but it was so minimal on features that I still think it is not worth the price (in my humble opinion). Also, I do not rememer seeing it allowing shortkeys to expand. You have to navigate menues or entries which I like the very least. May be one day someone will write a FARR plugin that allows to do this.
