Xilisoft Multiple Desktops Editor's Review

Xilisoft Multiple Desktops is a piece of software that brings a much loved feature seen in Linux and Mac OSX to Windows. With Xilisoft Multiple Desktops, (as the title implies) you can have multiple instances of your desktop open and running on your system at the same time, each containing different running applications and windows, helping you to manage your workstation and be more productive. This kind of feature has been apart of Linux and OSX natively for a while, yet not seen in Windows, so Xilisoft Multiple Desktops at first glance does look quite interesting and promising.

Xilisoft Multiple Desktops installed really easily and didn't bug me to install any extra software. No restart was required, so it was up and ready to go straight away. At first run, Xilisoft Multiple Desktops launches its settings window where you can customize your preferences before starting if you’d like to, however this is not actually necessary. There are only very few settings available for customization within Xilisoft Multiple Desktops, which in my opinion is a very good thing as it keeps confusion and jargon as limited as possible. The Basic Settings page allows you to specify how many different desktops you’d like. By Default, there are four ready to go, however more rows or column can be added if you’d like. From here you can also specify some keyboard shortcuts for switching between the different desktops or seeing an overview of all of your currently open and active desktops (seeing any similarities?!) Something that I haven't seen before in OSX and Linux is password protecting desktops, where as a password is requested when trying to change or open that space. A password can be assigned and specific desktops can be protected all from the Password Settings tab.

Hit Save once you’re done. Switching between desktops and the overview mode felt fast and fluid when I tried it out, however I suppose this depends greatly on your graphics and processing hardware. Moving to a password protected desktop also worked as I expected, however after attempting it a few times, the start menu seemed to appear before I’d unlocked the space, and further clicking around trying to work around the password entry caused the application to stop responding. This may be just my system, or may be a bug in the application. I was testing on Windows XP, and therefore may not be a problem to Vista, 7, or 8 users.

Overall, I think Xilisoft Multiple Desktops does in fact work quite well. Its very simple to use and brings a nice feature that Windows seems to lack, to Windows. (Maybe Microsoft will catch on?). It’s not freeware, however $9.95 isn’t going to break the bank, and probably worth it to gain an extra feature on your system that could help you become that little bit extra productive. However, I would strongly recommend downloading and installing the trial version of Xilisoft Multiple Desktops first to see how well it works with your system, before purchasing. I’d rate Xilisoft Multiple Desktops 4.1/5.
