Although this application hides currently opened programs on your computer, it isn't always reliable. Silent BossKey lists all the opened programs in your taskbar on its standard interface. You'll have to select the programs you'd like hidden by the user-definable hot key and move them to the right side of BossKey's dual-side window. Since comparable programs allow you to select applications that will be hidden from start-up by a set hot-key combination, the constant configuration of this software is a mark against it. We also find its boss-key combos and boss-mouse feature aren't always reliable in a pinch; sometimes they work during testing, sometimes they don't. In all fairness, the program works, just not as well as other competitive applications like it.

Did not work!

Pros
Can hide programs sometimes.
Cons
Did not work for most of the time. And this will be very dangrous if you use it in the work place. It does not worth the price.
Summary
In non-free boss key softwares, I prefer BlindBossKey.

Pros
Don't matter. If it starts with a lie then I won't buy. It is time to teach these people a lesson on this site. "If you lie, we don't buy! period. Below is the real pricing structure from there own site.
Cons
1- 1 $29.95 <p>2- 9 $19.95 <p>10- 50 $9.95 <p>50 Unlimited $4.95
Summary
False Advertising.... $9.95 = $29.95 (?) enough said.

Pros
False advertising.... $9.95, but when you go to the website to legitimately purhase... suddenly becomes $29.95!!!
Cons
Decent product at $9.95... but at $29.95, I want ALL the bells and whistles such as a truly silent start, persistent hidden applications, etc. This is just a stipped down virtual desktop manager.
