Forget about multi-monitors, what about workspaces? That's one of Windows' main failing.
I have a single monitor, but with four workspaces I have a lot of screen real estate.
- calciphus 12y agoWorkspaces have been available since XP. It's available as a Microsoft "powertoy" as well as countless open source and free programs. Virtual Desktop Manager. Sorry you missed it for 12 years. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/xp-downloads#2TC=powertoys http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/xp-downloads#2TC=...
- drdeadringer 12y ago> Sorry you missed it for 12 years. I'm almost sorry I missed it for 12 years as well. Part of me isn't sorry out of suspecting my "special add-on fatigue" prevented me from thinking Microsoft had "just one more" to give me workspaces.
- JetSpiegel 12y agoI did miss it. Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk. They really have a branding problem, calling that Powertoy...
- StuffMaster 12y agoI used that back on Windows XP, but it felt way too laggy and hackish. Virtuawin is the way to go.
- noinsight 12y agoAgreed, I use SysInternals Desktops for that since it's the only one that isn't implemented with a hack. I haven't had any problems with it but because of Windows' limitations it starts a separate logon session for every "desktop" so you can't move windows between them and so on. It's brilliant if you're constantly remoted to somewhere else, you can keep a full screen RDP session on another desktop while using your primary one for other stuff and quickly swap between them.
