The best virtual window manager I have used is
VirtuaWin(http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/).  It is lightweight and
have a plugin architecture.  I have tried Virtual Dimension.  But I
still prefer the VirtuaWin for some reasons I don't remember.

If you really need a *NIX l&f, you can try the bblean shell
replacement.  It is the closest clone I have seen on Windows to mimic
blackbox closely.
