Look up microsoft virtual desktop manager. you can download it from microsoft. com, and it rocks. its pretty to look at too, and its easy to install. only took me about 45 seconds. by the way, when you install/download it, right click on your toolbar next to the start menu and scroll over to toolbars, and then you will find microsoft virtual desktop manager. click and the then click the green button. pretty self explanitory from there. Hope this helps!

I wonder, why people who write about dock apps never mention Blanch. Blanch by One Guy Coding is an old, but still excellent application for launching applications. Instead of copying the Apple dock, it creates a number of tabbed toolbars. I find it easier to operate because you can have more or less fixed layouts for different categories instead of one long strip of icons that is changed everytime you add a new app…

To get even a little bit closer to Mac Functionality.... add the Stacks Docklet to your RocketDock to bring some Leopard to you Winbox

You could use Virtual Dimension for multiple desktops. I’m not sure where it ranks but it’s easy to try.

In the reverse of the question, I’d like to see something brought to Macs. I’d like to see the acknowledgment that anything that’s not a server, a mainframe, or an embedded system is a PC. A microwave is not a PC. An Apple Macintosh PC most certainly is.

From a Mac, I’d like, umm…a proper understanding of modular integration such as is found with Mail, iCal, and Address Book.

Launchy, Launchy, Launchy…..blah, blah, blah. Try Keybreeze instead. Works in the same way but much less complicated.

I don’t use Launchy, instead I use Google Desktop Search. Because it indexes your start menu it has the same functionality as Launchy, and more!

Ja, but you’ll have to fork out about a tenner. Cube Desktop rocks harder than ANY of the others,…dexpot comes in second but loses it’s handle on some windows apps and when they’re gone,…they’re GONE!
