A few months ago we talked about the five tools for creating multiple desktops, but since many utilities were left out and we found new platforms, we decided to write the second part of the five free tools for virtual desktops. We'll talk about applications that offer different styles and up to 64 virtual desktops to organize our work.
Virgo
We'll start with Virgo, an application that stands out as the lightest solution for creating virtual desktops. This platform offers 4 virtual desktops, simple and without extra options, which makes navigating between desktops very fluid. Virgo is a free application available for Windows 7 and 8 operating systems. (It doesn't work on Windows XP and some antivirus give a false positive.)
Virtuoz
The developers of Virtuoz were inspired by Sysinternals Desktops to create a simple application that offers up to 20 virtual desktops. Since we can customize the desktops by manipulating a .txt file, this utility has no limits and offers many possibilities. Virtuoz is a free application available for 64-bit Windows operating systems.
BetterDesktopTool
BetterDesktopTool is an application that offers up to 64 virtual desktops to work comfortably on your computer. With the tool you can navigate easily between desktops thanks to its mosaic view or keyboard shortcuts. BetterDesktopTool is a free application (for home use) available for Windows operating systems.
Compiz
If we talk about Linux, users are already very happy with the Gnome Workspaces service, but if you want to add transitions and different graphical effects to virtual desktops that beautify the space and the transition from one environment to another (3D effects thanks to its plugin core). We present Compiz which is a perfect complement to Gnome Workspaces. (We recommend using Compiz Fusion). Compiz is a free application available for Linux operating systems.
Xilisoft Multiple Desktops
We'll finish with Xilisoft Multiple Desktops, a desktop virtualization application that helps us organize and manage our multiple work areas. You can organize windows, applications and files in each environment, but the tool goes a bit further by protecting each desktop with a password. Xilisoft Multiple Desktops is a free application available for Windows operating systems.
If you want to expand your work area to organize your tasks, we hope these five tools for virtual desktops are of great help.
