Multiple Desktops VirtuaWin for XP

On my Production XP system I have two screens, one of which I switch to my XP Test machine when needed. Having a single screen is so frustrating after you get use to two so I looked around for a multi desktop similar to those available in Linux systems.

There is one available from MS in their PCTools but I prefer this one.

Downloaded from http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/downloads.php and installed on Test XP OK. Needed to play around with hot keys but as long as I chose NAV option and not WIN option (not sure why) it worked fine.
