Pre-Spaces, Spaces

I can’t work without multiple desktops, and I’m excited to see what Apple brings to the game with Spaces. My two favorite products to use while I bide my time waiting for Leopard are VirtueDesktops and You Control: Desktops.

VirtueDesktops is free, and until recently was my personal pick of third-party desktop managers. Unfortunately, when working with Teleport (which I also use everyday) it seems to get a little wonky, and I couldn’t configure my way out of it.

For the last few days I’ve been using the trial version You Control: Desktops and I’m very impressed. I just hate to put down the $30 it costs when I know I won’t be using it in four months.

I’m sure I’m not the only one with that feeling either, I really think I’d hate being a third-party Apple software developer.
