[GTALUG] 3rd party managers for windows? [was: Voyage to Omarcy: Lessons learned]

is it possible to have an alternate desktop manager in windows 10 or 11? Are there any that have linux and windows versions and give an almost identical experience between them? That MIGHT be an incentive to make me at least try them, to not have to go back and forth. Just curious. I think I remember there was an alternative desktop manager for 3.1 and or NT that was similar to that in win 95. I don't like things that explode and block my screen when my mouse accidentally wanders a bit too far. Carey
