They’re extensive multi-user experiences, in which one can meet new people, or pursue forgotten dreams.

Windows Pager also creates 4 little icons in the Windows taskbar that indicate what's going on in each desktop.

The open source program can be run as an executable file (no installation necessary), which means you can throw it on a USB flash drive and use it on any computer.
