• The Publisher No longer Exists?

  nidabaMay 9, 2009

  Pros

  Didn't get a chance to evaluate this, because as soon as I spotted the part where you had 90 days to register, I stopped my evaluation and emailed the registration. I got no reply and the trial expired! Now somewhere in my registry, I'm locked out!!!

  Cons

  Good way to waste your time! The publisher no longer exists! At least the link to their web site was an expired GoDaddy account and after several months of waiting I still haven't gotten a reply or key to unlock the program after the 90 day trial.

  Summary

  I wrote a review once about this, but it didn't get published. I guess CNET wants you to waste your time too. I've written several reviews on other products, but CNET's attitude will probably get me to stop. It use to be a good thing, now it's becoming RANK!!!

• Perfect. Not overly complicated imho.

  HanzlApril 20, 2008

  Pros

  Dont agree with Dalriada22. <p>Was on the lookout for a virtual desktop that could do more than the average virtual desktop tools. So not only shared desktops. Tried goscreen on your recommendation but this can not compete with this tool imho. And "no hours of configuring". Just a few minutes and it was running as i wanted it to run. This is a keeper for me.

• Overly complicated - many features that are nigh useless to the average user

  dalriada22January 23, 2007

  Pros

  Free. Very flexible interface. Ability to customize just about anything.

  Cons

  Requires several hours to configure with a simple setup. Unable to easily switch applications from one desktop to the other (no drag and drop unless you use the special 'desktop explorer' and then, it works imperfectly - goscreen is better)

• Works Perfektly! Perfektly! Perfektly! Per...

  Erin TSeptember 6, 2006

  Pros

  Lots of features, well designed, easy to use and understand interface. Allows you to extend you desktop as far and wide as you want. It's almost a dream come true, were it not for the nightmares!

  Cons

  1. it a feature called "rolling desktops." Sounds cool. DO NOT TRY IT! Once on it just goes and goes (etc.) like the energizer bunny. The 'feature' automatically changes from one desktop to another every x # of seconds. So you're working on something and bloop you're not. Sending an email, NOT! Talking to a friend, then... well it gets frustrating. There are settings to turn it off, doesn't work. There are setting to set the time delay between screen changes, I set it at 31000 seconds (@ 8 hr.s) to try and make it less frustrating. No help. Finally my laptop was damaged when I shot it. <p>2. They made it needlessly complicated. Virtual Desktop should be simple right? No. They have desktops, Virtual desktops, Virtual screens, Non-virtual desktops, Non-Virtual desktops, sub-desktops, different subsets of the combinations, some have full windows capabilities, some partial... I'm sure it's well thought out and will serve the developer or tech person well. However some of us just use a PC as a tool, want to get work done, and get done. I do not have 1/2 day to spend tweaking all of the different settings or messing with why my non-virtual sub-desktop might work better if it was a virtual desktop as a subset of a non-virtual screen set. Perhaps you do. <p>3. Other than the screen changing and being slightly over complicated it ran well. Please don't let my being in a bad mood scare you away from an otherwise good product. Might work for you! :)

• This is not a FREE software

  ctspsrApril 8, 2006

  Pros

  Downloaded this thinking this is a free licence. But after installation, the software says it is a 90 day evaluation edition.

  Cons

  Misrepresenting their sofware as free when it is actually a trail version

  This is a master piece on my computer. Go to their web site, they released a 2.60 version that includes a top bar: fast and powerful.

  Cons

  Nothing
