VirtueDesktops is a virtual desktop manager for OS X. It's easy to use, and sports a strong, but sparse feature set. In other words, it does what it does very well, but there is certainly not an overwhelming number of features. That being said, for the most part when you want to flip between desktops, that's all you really want to do - maintain two different desktops with different applications running, and flip between them using a hotkey. VirtueDesktops handles this task with aplomb; you can choose between a flip or cube animation which is crisp and fast, and just feels solid.
The latest version is also the last version, since the developer has decided not to continue working on VirtueDesktops. Many people at MacUpdate have reported that this version is not terribly stable, in our experience it is definitely workable. It has crashed on us on occasion, but not nearly frequently enough to be concerning.
Since Leopard is set to ship with Spaces, the need for VirtueDesktops may not last forever. But for now, it is a decent solution.
