Xenocode Virtual Desktop Windows 7

Sep 13, 2012  Virtual Application Studio now supports Windows® 8 and Windows® Server 2012. The Spoon.net app virtualization engine now supports execution on both 32- and 64-bit versions of all major Windows desktop and server operating system platforms.

Skype We know there’s a vocal set of people who just love virtual desktops. Having desktops beyond the limitations of a physical display is a powerful way to organize and quickly access groups of windows. Virtual desktops aren’t new.

In fact, Xerox PARC created one of the earliest virtual desktop experiences called Rooms back in the 1980s and subsequently made a version available for Windows 3.x. Microsoft offered the Virtual Desktop Manager as part of the Windows XP PowerToys and a little while later released the Sysinternals Desktops add-on which enabled similar functionality.

Many other OSes and third-party utilities have also embraced the power of virtual desktops. Given the growing popularity of this organizational tool, we decided to build a native virtual desktop experience directly into Windows 10. Virtual Desktops Goals When our team set out to build virtual desktops into Windows 10 we first took the time to understand how different people approach organization. For instance, we know that there are “filers” who like to separate things into subsets and then there are “pilers” who prefer to tackle tasks in a single group. We see this regularly with the way people handle email and directory structures for files. The same approaches also apply to open windows on a desktop. For those of you who like to organize your windows, we want to make sure that we offer the right experience to create and manage these groups.

Here are some high-level goals we identified: • Give you more desktop space to group related windows • Help you quickly locate and switch to any window or group of windows • Let you easily re-organize your groups and move windows as tasks evolve • Keep you in control of the degree of separation between your grouped windows Design To add a new desktop simply click the task view button on your taskbar and click the “new desktop” button. Just like how you can run as many application windows as you like, there’s also no limit to how many desktops you can create. I like to run my work email and Office apps on the first desktop and open my personal browsing on my second desktop. You may find the need to have more desktopsthe possibilities are endless. Add as many desktops as you need Task view is also where you can go to switch between desktops. The top part of this view shows previews of the windows you have open, just like Alt+Tab.

However, task view also is able to filter this list when you create virtual desktops, so only the relevant windows appear. Under that you will find the list of desktops you have open. The labels along with accurate previews make it easy to find what you want to switch to. However, what if you’re trying to find that music player and you forgot which desktop you had it on?
