virtuedesktops.info— Well, the developer is stopping development for now.All I have to say is that he did a great job - hope someone takes over the project.

schoate09 - Apple doesn't need to kill off compatibility. Within 8-12 months of Leopard's release, half the Mac shareware/freeware will require it for Core Animation or some other new feature.
You people are so stupid! Remember when Apple added Cover Flow To iTunes the development of the App stopped. Now with the addition of 'Spaces' Virtue-Desktop no longer will live! Put two and two together folks.
@dcbebop"Agreed. Awesome app, OSX steals only the best ideas."Generally true, but it is hard to claim Apple stole this one from them. Virtual desktops have been on *nix systems for quite a while and Virtua wasn't the first Mac one either.Though it was/is very nice, it wasn't without bugs.
VirtueDesktop had issues with my MacBook and seeing a few other responses it seems that I wasn't the only one. As for Apple's Spaces I just hope that the transition animation can be shutoff. That type of eye candy gets dull after a first few times. Virtual Desktops isn't anything new (on Macs or other OSes) and given Mac OS X's Unix roots it always felt like a missing feature.For Windows users with NVidia cards, Check out NVidia's Desktop Tools. For Linux users, just about every distro that is released with a GUI.For GUI-Less users, check out `screen` (Ok stretching it a bit but similar)
I installed this a number of times and was unable to make it work properly. I've heard it was buggy, but many loved this app, so I wanted to try it. holdin' out for Leopard.
It was a simple way to enable multiple desktops on your mac. Push a shortcut key combo & it shows a fresh desktop. It's a nice little app. I understand why he's not going to develop it anymore since Leopard is supposed to come standard with this.
