I recommend RocketDock and Deskman for multitasking in XP and Vista. Check this out: (artwinauto.com/time-saving-guides/windows/xpvista-taskbar-oriented-multitasking-guide.html) Vista Desktop Multitasking Guide

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.

Here’s a better idea: get in the habit of closing your windows.

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:
