[SGVLUG] Virtual Desktops for Windows

[Junaid A]

VirtualBox works great with Windows and we use it in our mixed environment
every day.

Also, you get Windows Virtual PC is free with all genuine Windows 7. You
have to download it from Microsoft's Download site for XP mode:

Please note that if you do have to have a Genuine Windows copy or you will
not be able to download the software.

Subject: [SGVLUG] Virtual Desktops for Windows

Is there a linux-like virtual desktop utility for Windows 7 which doesn't
stink?  I'm stranded in Windows-land for one client.

I've tried Dexpot and another free solution but they are both flakey -
windows pop up on the wrong desktop, windows fail to redraw, etc. I'm
willing to pay for a good commercial solution if required.

I don't know how Windows people live without virtual desktops.  Yet there
they sit tabbing through about 100 open windows at a time.
