[SGVLUG] Virtual Desktops for Windows

[Dan Buthusiem]

Brad,

Can you clarify on what exactly it is that you're looking for? I believe
you're looking for something that switches around your desktops, similar to
having multiple virtual displays in Linux. On my Windows boxes, I
eventually just bought multiple monitors and KVM switches to see the whole
picture on my multiple physical boxes. I think that's a bit beyond what
most users will do (but it's 100% cross platform! ha!). I'll post the
software I used to use once I can remember.

If not, then virtualbox, vmware player, ms virtual pc (lol), etc.
