Desktops V1.0 - a virtual desktop manager from Sysinternals
nontroppo:
Hi guys, looks like the sysinternals guys have just released their own take on virtual desktops:
Desktops V1.0 - a virtual desktop manager from Sysinternals
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881.aspx
A whopping 62kb download (why don't they use bittorrent or a dedicated server farm, my download took ages!), it offers a keyboard friendly, minimalist alternative to some of the other.
Here is some other discussions on VD software over the recent past (my personal fave is Dexpot, though its bugs are slowly driving me off it).

It is very nice. However it is very limited. For example It cannot share application between desktops which makes it very hard to use becasue all my applications that startup with the system works only in desktop1 and I cannot move-copy them to the new desktop.
Althou I like the minimalist approach they took.

I can say you're lucky if this works for you after all.
For me: this is the first tool from SysInternals which doesn't work like it supposed to. I have the same desktop four times only. I cannot set this up to have i.e. Opera in D1 and TotalCommander on D2. Each application is available on each desktop. When I maximalize an app on one of these... it gets maximized in others too. Same functionality built in nVidia drivers works without any problems.
The biggest issue might be "placebo" imho. In any Linux distro I've used such functionality was very, very comfortable. In Windows - did not. I've tried many external solutions and also drivers related ones but each one of them lacks "something" which I cannot define.

Exactly the same problem, (or "feature"), here - nothing but Desktop 1 replicated 4 times along with all application windows.
Shades:
Over here all apps were opened in the 1st desktop. :(
