Unfortunately, it felt more like an app that I might have written (no polish, kinda clunky but functional). A <i>big<\/i> plus is that it did not require going through a slow install process.

I was immediately impressed that it had a 64-bit compiled version and also that it did not require an arduous installation process.<\/p>\n<p>WindowsPager lets you move individual windows from one desktop to another with a right-click in the title bar and presents a spiffy and functional mini-desktop view in the taskbar:<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;padding-bottom:12px\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rud.is\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/wp-detail.png?w=510&#038;ssl=1\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are also many more ways to move around and place objects on individual desktops (you can see all the features in WindowPager&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/windowspager.sourceforge.net\/documentation.html\">documentation<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>For the time being, I&#8217;m sticking with WindowsPager and am happy to have added functionality that really should have been there in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>(Haven&#8217;t given VirtuaWin a go yet, but it looks like it might be a decent contender.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE [2011-02-05] Added VirtuaWin to the list thanks to a tip by @ken5m1th.
