Mock OS X: Five ways to make your PC more like a Mac

By Rich Trenholm on 26 November 2007, 9:52am

Mac feature: Spaces
Windows version: DeskSpace
One of Leopard's headline features is Spaces. Linux fans were quick to point out that the ability to create multiple desktops, separating your groups of applications and tasks, has been available for a while. If you want to emulate this effect on Windows, try DeskSpace.

This allows you to create up to six desktops. This isn't as many as other desktop managers such as VirtuaWin, but DeskSpace has a much flashier spinning-cube effect for the Apple 'wow' factor, as you can see from the manufacturer's screenshot above.

You can use virtual desktops to group together applications in particular batches, such as a home workspace with personal email, IM and music, a work workspace with work email and Excel, and an art space with Photoshop and Comic Life for Windows running.
