Finestra provides some more features to the list of virtual desktop managers. Users can add unlimited number of desktops but the performance may degrade after exceeding a certain number. In addition to the drag and drop feature that Dexpot provided, users can drag the window to the edge of the screen and thus jump the application to other desktop. It also offers other configuration options like changing the color, speed, hotkeys etc for desktops.
