User Reviews

  • I've been using it for years and it really is an essential tool.
  • I use it all the time. The program(virtual desktop) built into Windows doesn't give that many settings. VirtualWin allows you to configure everything and there is also a source code just in case.
  • Register the account to say thanks to the author. This is the best virtual desktop app among those including MS built-in implementation, and a bunch of commercials.
  • Year 2023, I am still happy with the VirtuaWin software. However, I cannot ignore the comments about the Excel ribbon problem. It is a valid concern that I have encountered myself. My workaround is to press "CTRL + O" + ESC in Excel to bring up the ribbon, it works. While it may not be the most efficient method, I have adapted to it. May fortune be with us all.
