Vista/XP Virtual Desktop Manager 0.6 RC

Vista provides developers with the new DWM based aero interface. A new set of thumbnail API's can be used to access some of this new technology. This virtual desktop program takes advantage of this new API and uses some tricks of its own to provide a powerful virtual desktop manager with a full screen thumbnail based preview. You can have as many desktops as you want and can seamlessly switch between them.

Vista/XP Virtual Desktops provides support for XP as well, although window previews are not live since XP doesn't have DWM.Features
