Windows only: Yod'm 3D provides four virtual desktops for your PC, all of them contained in a spinning 3D cube.
We've covered loads of virtual desktops in the past; they're great for cutting down on window clutter and improving your PC productivity. Yod'm keeps it simple, giving you four virtual desktops on a rotating "cube." Just press Ctrl-Shift and the left or right arrow key to cycle between them. (You can assign different activation-key combinations, which is good: I need Ctrl-Shift for Word.) You can also hold down the activation keys and drag your mouse left or right, which provides a better rotating-cube-in-space effect. If you want to jump directly to an open application in any desktop, you can click the Yod'm icon in the System Tray and select the app.
My only complaint is with the method of dragging windows from one desktop to another: It's kludgy, and the desktops fly by too quickly. Other than that, I like Yod'm a lot. It's easy to use and just a wee bit fun.
Of course, Most people feel pretty strongly about their favorite virtual-desktop tools, so I don't expect Yod'm to convert users of, say, Dexpot. But if you haven't tried virtual desktops, this is a fine place to start. Yod'm is free; the developer accepts donations. You'll need Windows 2000, XP or Vista to run it.Download here:
