OT, but related in that lots of us like virtual desktops and have to use 
Windows for $WORK.

Cool, I wasn't aware of that one.  It looks more configurable, with 
better docs.  Per http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/?page_id=7 it looks 
like a slight hassle to make it "portable" while WindowsPager Just Works 
once you unzip it, without install or admin rights, which may be 
important to some.  Still, I agree it looks like a "6 of one, 0.5d of 
the other" case to me too.

Thanks,

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
