Windows Pager creates Linux-like virtual desktops in Windows
Windows Pager also creates 4 little icons in the Windows taskbar that indicate what's going on in each desktop. You can right click on the edge of any program window or on the taskbar icon for a program to move it from one desktop to another or to mark it as something that should be visible in each workspace.
The open source program can be run as an executable file (no installation necessary), which means you can throw it on a USB flash drive and use it on any computer. It also weighs in at just over 500KB, so it won't take up much space at all on that flash drive.
The download link for Windows Pager wasn't working when I tried it this afternoon, so you may want to download the app from Download.com instead.

under XP SP3 w/3GB RAM, ATI Radeon X700 w/512 MB video RAM, plus vanilla GPL apps, this little monster worked fast and light but… 'displays' freaky attitude -or behavior- if and or when OpenOffice is loaded: you cannot switch desktop, can’t call task manager, can’t push Start button.
I was ready for the red button down below. I pressed several times Ctrl-Alt-Del, screen went black, flipped all loaded screens one after the other and then returned to ‘normal’.
.... reload, reset, redo ....
So I tried it again, with less machismo (? less programs using lots of video memory ?) but it had the same interferences-problems-glitches, whatever you call that when your screen reacts way after you’ve been pounding the keyboard for anything else but to look at a frozen image of the last app in memory.
Ahem (throat clearing, nothing else).
I’ll stick to Dexpot German-engineering program interface and GUI — thanks to Samer on FreewareGenius for pointing it to my attention a looooong while ago.
I don’t want to brag about those European foreigners but they’ve got some of the best algorithm-based object-oriented applications. Well, ok, the Russians too, but aren’t they Europeans when they live east of the Oural Mountains?
:-))

Linux is better...and it's free. It's stupid to buy Windows or OS X.

Shame it's buggy. Looks the most like Linux I've ever seen. I personally use Vista & XP Virtual Desktops if anything.
