QUOTE (Moonlit)
I use a lot of VMs and I began to realise it was a little inconvenient having windows and tabs all over the place to access them. I though about switching to Linux, using compiz-fusion and getting the 3D cube thing going but I wanted to stay with Windows, I had all my stuff set up how I liked it...

I remembered that there had been attempts at doing the whole 3D cube on Windows before, so a little googling gave me YODM (Yet anOther Desktop Manager, it was bought by a company and rebranded but if you look hard enough you can still find the freeware 1.4 version). So, downloaded it, installed it, threw up a couple of virtual machines in VMWare, full screened them on each of the cube faces.

w00t. Worked fine on my Vista install also.

Another use for hiding things you don't want seen away while still having them open.
