Virtual desktop for Vista RTM

Any suggestions on a reliable virtual desktop manager for Vista RTM?

I have not used one in the past, although I did give the XP powertool one a
try for a little while.

Wow! Although I was a little dubious, since the last update to the program
was in May, I decided to give it a try since the homepage says it works in
Vista. It works great so far, so thanks for the suggestion. If you're on
one desktop and you open a IE7 instance, you get one for that home page.
Amazingly enough, if you already have an Excel sheet opened on one desktop
and you open Excel on another desktop, you get another instance of Excel.
Normally, you have to hold down on a control key to get that to happen.

The only oddity I've seen is if you open a http link from your mail program,
it may cause a new new tab in IE7 to be created in a different desktop.

Thanks again!
