Product Description:

Virtual Desktop is the answer to a growing problem among users of modern Macintosh computers, who have plenty of RAM to run programs in, but don�t have the �screen real estate� to handle large numbers of windows productively. This problem is especially acute for people using PowerBook computers, because of their small screen size.

Virtual Desktop, the premier virtual desktop manager for the Macintosh, is an adaptation of the kind of virtual window manager found on many X Window System workstations. Having allocated some memory for off-screen buffers, they let the user�s screen view move between several �rooms� where various programs can put their windows. Usually, these rooms are non-overlapping and arranged in a rigid grid pattern. A small-scale window shows the user where all the windows are, in a stylized form.

for a long time... Apparently, it will continue to be one of the premier freebies. Absolutely invaluable (like ALM's DragAnyWindow) for those odd times when an offscreen window needs recovery. Great to see this back!

have used this program for the past two years. I use it to provide multiple desktops, similar to Sun OS. I maintain three "virtual desktops." It is unfortunate that AWOL is not updating this product. I hope someone else picks it up.
