- lenkite 11y agoThe sysinternals virtual desktops free software is highly buggy (crashes on creating new desktop many times when connected to external monitor needing a reboot), hogs memory, never worked well with the Windows 8.1 start menu, never worked well with Windows Store Apps and Alt-Tab. I am glad that virtual desktops are now natively supported.

And there were always third-party alternatives. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881 I am glad that virtual desktops are now natively supported. No argument there ;-)
