VMware is the best, I have been messing with the Windows version lately to see how it holds up, but VMware still beats it.

I meant virtual desktops as in - multiple desktop spaces. Like the rotating cube of desktop spaces in nix.

not virtual machines

Best virtual desktop for Windows 7

I have used Vern (virtual environment resource navigator) for over 10 years now, with its "sister" Blanch (a button launcher panel). They are from "One Guy Coding", which I think is no longer in business. But you should be able to pick it up somewere still. It is the best of over 10 or so I have tried over the years by far.

I'm using DeskSpace and absolutely love it. It is extremely customizable and the closest to Linux's Compiz Desktop Cube I have come across. In fact, I greatly prefer it to Compiz because of it's customizability. It's free to try but, IMO, well worth the purchase price.

Other Info
This machine was given to me when my dad bought a new computer. I keep throwing upgrades at it and it keeps on ticking. Think I've done everything to it that can be done outside a PSU upgrade so I can run an even BETTER GPU.
