Nice app list for those of us who don't yet have Windows 7. One really useful tool I use is remote desktop software. It allows me to access different computers without sacrificing network security.

[...] I’m not advocating multi-tasking – in fact, there are many good arguments against it. However, for those of us who can’t seem to get away from multitasking at least during computer work, there is a great post about some free desktop applications that you can download that really make your computer time more organized and make it flow smoother. You’ll find that post here: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-applications-to-better-manage-your-desktop-workspace/ [...]

Interesting apps to use, this may take some windows configuration.

Taekwindow for Windows (note the pun) allows Alt+Drag to move and Alt+RDrag to resize, just like KDE Window Resizer.

I use a little program called taskbar shuffle to add the grossly overlooked functionality of repositioning a program in the taskbar. Very handy if you get two rows of things open at a time and need to move one up into view.

Think you missed off fences. I find this amazing for sorting out my desktop. Really important for when you have tons on and billions of shortcuts.

NiftyWindows (i think thats the name) is great for resizing and moving windows among other things. Winsplit Revolution is great as well.

Try DM2. It’s really usefull to minimize open windows to the tray bar or to transparent floating icons when rightclicking on minimize/maximize/close window icons.

Wintabber is almost free ( 5$ for paid version, which to me is much more reasonable) and does the same thing, and better and easier than windowstabs.

In Ubuntu, the multiple desktop applet is simple and efficient.

In Windows 2000 to XP, I like VERN (Virutal Environment Resource Navigator). It’s free, but send the creator a little cash if you like the app.

Funny thing, but question is why NV - called: one of the best customization programs by one of the most well-known technological experts on the planet Vishal Gupta - wasn't included in this review, as it has at last few effects related to this category. (not to make further comparison) Regards, Sami

On linux I use fvwm with custom configuration, that allows me to have 40-50 windows open, with single-keypress shortcut to each of them:

Why are you people NOT USING SWITCHER 2.0?

It does require Aero, but its like expose for mac but with text searching and more options.

This program totally rocks, google switcher for Vista.

If you use the KDE Window Resizer with Photoshop (or some other program that wants the Alt key for a shortcut) you can usually hold down alt+win+key to get the same shortcut and resizer won’t interfere. I noticed this tip on lifehacker. These are all good thanks!
