Publisher's description
From Andrei Gourianov :Organize and add space to your computer's desktop by creating up to 40 virtual screen pages. Run each application or group of applications on a separate screen. Never minimize any of the applications, and never close any of them. When you switch screen pages, all running Windows programs simply disappear from the screen and from the taskbar--but they're right there waiting when you switch back.
Version 5.0 adds window-layout management and independent management of multiple monitors.

Version: GoScreen 5.0
"Great Product...I use it all the time"
Pros: Great Window Management Software - I tried them all, and this was the only one that I purchased :) Stable, Works well, easy to use and configure, very low system resources used, very configurable, love the window map to drag and drop apps between desktops, window list is great too..well, I like everything about it :)
Some other products have more features - but what I really want is a very stable, easy to use and easy to configure virtual desktop manager that uses very little resources, have the ability to easily view windows from other desktops, drag and drop them between desktops/move them around without resorting to silly extra menu's on the windows themselves (like explorer extensions) to do this - with the window map and window list features, you can view all open windows on any desktop easily, and drag them to any desktop you want easily - very easily - the best method I have seen to date.
Cons: Sometimes there are some minor graphics flaws - such as a menu will remain open when switching desktops, I have traced this, and have noticed it mainly with the windows map in auto-hide mode, where if you click on the windows map to try and change desktops, and if there is a window right under where you just clicked, and you manage to click on the area of a menu (like a maximized explorer window, and you click in the "favorites" menu area), then when you change to the new desktop, you will see that the menu remains - floating there, with no parent window - on top pf everything. The only way to close it is to go back to the desktop that has the parent window (the window to which the menu item belongs), and then close it from there.. Sometimes in extreme cases, you actually have to close goscreen down, and then re-launch it, but that is rare - very, very rare, and even if you have to, it only takes seconds. I hardly ever re-launch it though, so this is not a big issue at all - that's the only "down" side I could think of.

Version: GoScreen 5.0
Pros: This is one of only a few applications that I can truly say work as advertised without crashing, conflicting, or forcing me to compromise between usability and stability. I have not tried the multiple monitor option introduced in the new version but everything else works like a charm.
Cons: The format of the documentation could be improved. The content is good but the format is not as readable as it should be.

Version: GoScreen 5.0
"I would not run windows without it."
Pros: Provides very easy access to the applications I use. It is simply the best window manager available on the Windows platform. I have used goScreen for sevaral versions now, and each version gets better and better, well worth the money.

Version: GoScreen 5.0
"I found the best and stopped trying the rest"
Pros: There might be better desktop managers, but not that I've found for the $$. I've used goScreen for over three years with little or no problems whatsoever. All the features I need work just as I expect them to. Kudos, Andrew!
Cons: No problems that can be traced to goScreen itself. A few Windows apps and control panel applets don't play nicely, but that's not the fault of goScreen.
