It provides virtual desktops similar to those available in most unix/ linux window managers. The wikipedia entry explains it pretty well: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_desktop> A lot of people find that app hiding and shrinking and Exposé together are a reasonable alternative, but I've just got used to multiple desktops. I have PM on one, my browser on another, others for Terminal windows, text editor, iCal, etc, and can switch between them with kb shortcuts. And speaking of replacements for CTVD, I was just checking versiontracker earlier and noticed that Virtue is once more being developed :) <http://virtuedesktops.info/> -- TimH PowerMail 5.2.3 | OS X 10.4.6 | PowerBook FW/500 | 640MB RAM
