One major benefit was the ability to run a program with just the graphics you needed; remember, this was an era when most PC's were limited to only 1 meg all up, including the graphics cards. So, I could do a lo-res (320x200) HaM graphic on one screen, while using a terminal program in HiRes-lace (640x400) on another, and running the 'bong-ball" demo on a third. (No, I have no reason why you'd want to run the Bong demo; it was just cool that you could. ;)) Later, more and better modes came out, but the idea was the same. Do note that this is just not the same as opening a new window, nor is it the same as multiple desktops, although that requires multiple screen capability--which were also available for the Amiga, from 3rd party sources. In the end, some people will find this useful, some, not so much. Fine. But I like it, myself, although, if other implementations come up for free, I'l try them, too.... pgf]]> Wed, 10 Dec 2008 02:44:44 -0500 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73038 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73037 The Mokoda, 53 - Quote: "the total number of programs running are still going to take up the amount of memory needed" This is not about performance. Switch your angle of perception: It is about better organization of the open Windows on your Desktop. When many are open, you will eventually get disorganized. By logically ordering the Windows over several virtual Desktops,it will be easier to stay orientated. Quote: "what would seem more useful to me would be a utility that explands the total amount of space you have on the one real desktop, so that you can scroll some open windows past the physical edges of the screen and scroll back when you need them." I don't know about MSEW but VIRTUAWIN can do exactly what you want. Get VIRTUAWIN at http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/ Right-click the tray-icon and choose "setup". Go to the mouse-TAB and check "enable mouse desktop changing". There you go.. when you move your mouse from the screen you will emedialtly enter another virtual desktop, exactly what you were wishing for. Have losts of usefull time with it !]]> Wed, 10 Dec 2008 02:41:34 -0500 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73037 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73036 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:37:42 -0500 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73036 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73035 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:32:58 -0500 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73035 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73034 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:21:39 -0500 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73034 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73033 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 20:37:22 -0500 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/msew/#comment-73033
