Dexpot: Probably the best virtual desktop manager around
Target:
ran across this one this morning and it may be of interest to others
<a href=http://update.docs.kr/entry/Products-Shock-4Way3D-en>Shock 4way desktop - 3D</a>
it's a aero (?) style 4 pane virtual desktop manager (there is also a 2D version)
info on the site is pretty sparse, but it's listed as freeware...
Target
EDIT - registration (free) required...the effect is quite cool, whether or not it's useful is another (YMMV)

What was the name of that one software that was mentioned on DC somewhere, that was like a virtual desktop manager, but had things that you can autohide on the edges of the screen and stuff? I don't remember much about it, I think mouser mentioned it. It was freeware, and kind of a poweruser thing, where it had a lot of settings and stuff. I just remember the autohide around the screen thing.
Darwin:
You're not thinking of PowerPro, are you?
superboyac:
No, not powerpro. Something more like a virtual desktop application, except there was stuff that you configure to go autohide on the sides of the screen. I don't know, it's at the tip of my tongue.
