I'm bringing my Windows 7 machine out of mothballs. It's got apps that have recently become useful again, and that I cannot afford to license again!
First order of business was to install BitDefender & make sure no goblins lingering.
Then I noticed Dexpot & remembered how cool it was. Yay! It still works! Not been updated in a while, and seems there are none from where I am: 1.6.14.2439. This makes me sad... something this cool, and now apparently in the graveyard. I guess it would be a monumental effort to port this to another OS, but they could all learn something from studying this. I don't use Windows anymore, but I've spent a lot of time on macOS & Linux. Dexpot is *way* better than anything in Linux - certainly in Gnome. And while macOS desktops work OK, Apple could learn much from Dexpot.
Oh well - thanks for a sweet ride Dexpot - it was great, and is great having this on Win 7 at least. Makes we wanna' use it more often.
