Works beautifully. Screen redraws when switching desktops is fast. If you are concerned about the lack of active development, take 15 minutes to download it and run it. If it does the job, then join the happy ranks of Virtual Dimension users with me.

The beta (a work in progress) has not been updated since 2005 (six years ago). I would like to find a nice virtual windows manager that has active development (more than one person). If anyone knows of any, please let me know. I am willing to pay for a solution. RIP Virtual Dimension.
