Enjoy multiple desktops from Microsoft
Filed under: Conversation, New Web Creations, Thirdsector Systems
The Sysinternals team at Microsoft have this month lanched Desktops v.1.0 – a neat desktop utility that allows you to organise your software and services into up to four separate vrtual desktops.
The software, when loaded, appears to have a small footprint, sitting neatly in your task bar. This is an early version that is sure to be added to by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell.
You can find Desktops at Microsoft here – we use Sysinternal utilities on our office set-ups and value greatly the innovation and energy the team put into creating these no-cost system add-ons.
You can visit the Sysinternals home page for a whole range of Windows system utilities here.
