Virtual Desktops

[Fear The Wrath]

i use virtual desktops.. any way i could use them for multiboxing? so i can spread out my chars??

You can but you will have to use broadcasting software like Keyclone. But why use virtual's when you can use them straight away on the host PC ? You will loose alot of memory / cpu speed to just running the multiply Windows / what ever you are planning on running.

Don't go for VM's, get them WoW's running on 1 pc..cheaper + faster

A virtual desktop and a virtual machine are two totally diffrent things. You could use a Virtual desktop, Setup HotkeyA to bring Desktop A to front & etc. It actually might work out pretty well as some of the Virtual Desktop software I've seen allows you to display ALL your out of focus desktops on a secondary display. So press Button 1, it flips Desktop 1 to the screen & etc.

Sounds great to me :-D Screenshots when you get it working.

Are you talking about Virtual Machines? or multiple desktop instances using a desktop manager a la http://z-sys.org/vvdm.aspx ('http://z-sys.org/vvdm.aspx') as is common in X?


Damn beat me to it Wilbur

Aah ofcourse ... Mixed them up, sorry ..

Indeed might be a good idea if it works, saves space. I however like to see what's going on on all screens at any moment.
