MoreDesk is a commercial product costing £14.99+VAT. It does have more features than its free equivalents including

  • configurable number of desktops
  • different background images for each desktop
  • a scaled view of the entire grid
  • the ability to easily move windows between desktops
  • hotkeys to switch between windows
  • alerts for off-screen events
  • etc.

The MoreDesk documentation contains a discussion of other virtual desktop programs of which there are several. Most of the alternatives are older and/or non-32-bit compatible.
