DeskSpace – Expose for Windows

I don’t have a Mac. I know a lot of applications for making your Windows system look like a Mac so you can imagine my excitement when I heard about a Microsoft counterpart for Expose. DeskSpace is now a Windows counterpart for the Linux Compiz Fusion cube effect. But it used to be an Expose copycat.

So I downloaded the setup file and executed the installation process…

Get to the next screen and you’re welcomed by the usual terms and conditions.

Then choose the location folder of the program files.

Choose whether to place a shortcut in the Quick Launch bar or on the desktop.

Then the installation of the program files initiates.

It takes the best part of 15 seconds and then the installation process is finished.

Then I launched DeskSpace.

Um… there seems to be something missing. Yeah, that’s right. This software is a complete and utter failure because it doesn’t even work. How on Earth am I supposed to be able to know what all of these options mean? I tried installing it on Vista, XP and 7, alas, to no avail.

I’m gonna give DeskSpace Expose a… 0/10. Because… you know…IT DOESN’T WORK.
