CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Simpler to use than its competitors, Ultra Virtual Desktop is effective, but it doesn't always play well with Windows XP. The program enables you to create up to 10 desktops on one computer. The interface is limited to a menu that pops up from the system tray. You can switch among desktops by pressing Ctrl and a number key. Ultra Virtual Desktop's resource footprint is reasonable (8MB of RAM) and it doesn't slow performance, but on Windows XP the program crashed when we tried to access Settings. Busy office workers may well find Ultra Virtual Desktop a welcome, low-overhead way to expand their work spaces.Publisher's description
From Ultra Networks :Are you running out of desktop space? Do you have too many programs running to use your computer effectively? Do you want to be able to manage multiple desktops like you can on Linux? Ultra Virtual Desktop is the key to solving all these problems. With this easy-to-use program, you can run up to 10 virtual desktops on one computer. They are hot-keyed to the Ctrl and number keys for easy desktop switching.

"Wuz all the fuss about? This stuff is FABULOUS!"
Summary: I don't get why EVERYBODY else has given this a bad rating. The installation process was smooth (tho I was a little upset that it didn't include the msvbvm60.dll in the program; it downloaded it while installing.) Anyway, after installing, I run Spy... read more >>
