Version: Dexpot 1.4 build 472
"Works good - but then it crashes"
Pros: This solved a big problem for me... A cluttered desktop. Now I can organize my desktops, one for each major function that I use my computer for ( I have 4 different ones for work, one for personal use). This has freed up my desktop space, and saved me time otherwise spent looking for icons on a single desktop...
Cons: But then again, it has crashed several time, making all of my settings go crazy. This has wasted time, and overall I wonder if I've even saved any time at all.
Once it crashed and when I restarted it, everything was in German (I think). Whenever I place my laptop in stand-by (close the lid), and re-open it, it crashes.
I am going to look for another virtual desktop solution now. But I'm glad I tried this one and used it for about a year.

Version: Dexpot 1.4 build 472
"Doesn't play well with others"
Pros: Well, I like the general appearance, if that counts.
Cons: So basically, I can't use my beloved CursorXP. Which is terrible, because I am using the best looking cursor in the world. It also doesn't let me add web content to my desktop, so I can't even use my very awesome animated wallpaper! I've JUST downloaded and installed this thing, and already I've found more bad than good.
Don't get me wrong, I am sure this program is exactly what many other people need, but for me... it's just a picky program that doesn't want to work unless you do things the way IT wants things to be done. My personal rating is 1 star, because I can't find a single thing I like about it. But I will give it 2 stars because I know it's a really good program. I won't give it any more stars because I want readers to feel my personal rating.

Version: Dexpot 1.4 build 472
Pros: NICE! This program has so much to offer, so many options and features, very very nice. Better than the Microsoft powertoy.
Cons: Kinda ugly icons, wish they had an option to integrate the thing into the start bar instead of the task-tray.

Version: Dexpot 1.4 build 472
Pros: Faster and much lighter than Virtual Desktop Toolbox. The interface is very neat and simple. I enjoy the Full-screen preview (see all your desktops at once), the Window Catalogue, minimize any app to the system tray (nice!), Always On Top, and Transparency. Very customizable. Free!
Cons: A few of the desktop icons don't exactly get back to my desired positions, but it's something I can live with.
