There is no build in way for Windows users to expand the desktop. The only option is to install third party software programs to expand the desktop virtually. One of those solutions is a virtual desktop manager called 360 Desktop which was previously mentioned by Joshua. The 360 desktop manager uses a different concept than [...]
The New G.ho.st Alpha
I follow developments of both G.ho.st and Windows Live Mesh with interest and this week has seen new releases for both. What I find most interesting is that both developments have a very similar aim or goal, but at the same time are very different. G.ho.st is not so ambitious as to try and become [...]

Zen Key An All Purpose Application Manager
It’s sometimes a little feature that is enough to make me download and install a software. It happened with the Zen Key software today that the feature to iconize program windows on the desktop caught my attention. It is not only possible to replace windows with icons on the desktop but to display their process [...]
Dual Desktops, One Wallpaper
I only just discovered 360 Desktop, and unfortunately, before I could really adjust myself and get more productive, I also discovered dual monitors. Frankly, the one makes the other irrelevant, although I would have been very, very impressed if 360 Desktop worked across two displays creating a huge scrolling desktop. In fact I hope its [...]

Well I finally got a notification that 360 degree desktop was ready, something I’ve been eagerly awaiting for for a number of months now. I saw a brief preview of it in a PC magazine and was very interested to see it, but you had to sign up and wait on the website. However, you [...]

I wrote wrote a post last week about online desktops and gave what was in my opinion, the best three of the bunch. Some of you where pretty interested in the topic and there where a few debates in the comments over which was the best, so I’ve decided I’ll share a list of every [...]
Customize your Vista Desktop
You can do a lot more the simply changing your background and Screensaver in Windows Vista. Unfortunately you’ll need some 3rd party applications to do it. Microsoft decided nearly a decade ago that to protect their brand’s image all Windows themes must be signed by Microsoft. Since then all of 9 themes have been given [...]
Choosing an Online Desktop
A few years ago the idea of cloud computing seemed vaguely absurd to me. I infinitely preferred using desktop software to any kind of online alternative and I hated the idea of having my data floating off somewhere in the "cloud". I liked it here, at my desk… safe. 2 years later and I still [...]
Ulteo Virtual Desktop
I have watched the steps of Mandrake-Founder Gaël Duval since he (was forced to) quit the company, not because I was such a big fan of Mandrake (or Linux in general ^^) at all, but because of the announcements and plans he made for his new company, Ulteo. At that time I was investigating so-called [...]
