Virtual Desktop Manager

I've been tinkering with Linux lately and one of my favorite KDE features is the desktop switcher.  Tonight I found Virtual Desktop Manager, a Microsoft PowerToy that does basically the same thing.  It looks promising so far.

Update:  This thing was really flaky until I upgraded my RAM to 1GB.  As Girish pointed out, it would freeze under low memory conditions.  Also, one of my biggest gripes is that if I have VS.NET maximized on desktop #1, switch to a different desktop, and then come back to desktop #1, VS.NET will no longer be maximized.  Nothing major...just a pain in the butt.

It is pretty sweet. But, beware. It eats up memory like no one's business. Also, it has a bad habit of freezing under low mem conditions.

If you dont mind getting rid of the explorer.exe shell completely, GeoShell has the capability of up to 25 or so desktops.

Does the Windows Shell really suck?
