Has anyone tried DockBox?

It's an FOSS tiling "Window Manager" for XP/Vista, and I'm bound to install it on my XP machine when I turn it on again (after the PSAT's are over).

Yay! Tiling for Windows! If I get xp installed again, this is probably something I'm going to try

Very nice, I'll install that next time I boot up Windows.

Crap, it looks like the server is down.
Whoops, it's fine now.

And down again I have very unstable internet + dynamic IP which means I have to manually update the DNS entries all the time. Apologies for the inconvenience. If you have any questions feel free to ask here and I'll do my best to respond

Ok, so before I install it and possibly screw my computer up, I want to know if it reacts well to a healthy dose of VirtuaWin.

Shouldn't have any adverse effects, DockBox doesn't use the multiple desktop functionality that is hidden in Windows. It simply minimizes or hides windows depending on the workspace. Also I think the hotkeys have possibly changed, so if Ctrl + Alt wont work, try the Windows key instead.

Cool, will I be able to run multiple instances of DockBox / workspace?

Probably not without having seperate configs for each one, although the source is there if you want to change that.

Looks like fun, but I think my wife would kill me if I put this on her machine. Might make a fun April Fools joke or gag Holiday "gift"...
