Wow... look at that. They forgot to add the Exit option. :-)

This is the worst...

* Slow. Takes a long time to "create a new desktop". Seems to initailize a new copy of explorer or something weird.

* Resource hog. I have 4GB of RAM (i.e. 3GB) and I can only create 2 desktops. Upon trying to create 3 and 4, I get the error: "Error creating desktop, not enough storage is available to process this command." Storage? Are they kidding me?

* No visual representation of what's on the desktops until I click the icon in the tray... How do I know where I want to go?

* It's not a true "view" implementation, so you can't pick up a window and move it to another desktop (seemingly no way).

* No exit command in the menu or anywhere. Luckily I can use Process Explorer to kill it, although fire would probably be more satisfying.

Quite possibly the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen Microsoft release next to MS Bob.

Voted down.

I found out why you can't exit.... not only is it creating a new instance of Explorer, it's acutally starting up a new full Desktop instance, which can't be closed. If you force desktops.exe closed, you'll orphan the desktop.

Absolutely effing brilliant... what are they trying to achieve here? Just copy Ubuntu and Apple.... or any of the video card manufacturers that include simple desktop switching apps with their drivers.

Wow.

One of the PowerToys does this (Virtual Desktop Manager). I'm not a Windows user anymore, but I guess that this application is Vista-specific and that Virtual Desktop Manager will only install on Windows XP?

Sad. 20 years late and they still do it wrong.
