Optimal Desktop empowers you to browse the web your way!
Optimal Desktop's tab system makes it easy to bookmark Internet links, RSS feeds,
files and folders and access them all from the same window. Simply create a
new group (Drawer) and drag any link into this new drawer. Optimal Desktop will
automatically assign an icon to your new tab and display the link in the right
format!
Bookmarking makes browsing the web easier!
If you are like most of us, you probably have more than a few favorite destinations
(News, Search, Sports, Hobbies, Consumer Reports, etc). Optimal Desktop makes
it real easy to organize and access your favorite destination and also share
these links effectively with others.
With RSS you have Your News delivered as soon as it becomes available!
With RSS feeds you can subscribe to your favorite blogs and news feeds and have
information delivered to your desktop as soon as it becomes available. Optimal
Desktop displays the RSS headlines in a outlook type format. The Page tabs in
Optimal Desktop make it easy to open multiple headlines in the same window.
You also have the ability to design your own custom Feeds. Basically you define
some search terms and any time any one on the Internet writes about your subjects
it is delivered to your desktop. Another useful feature in Optimal Desktop is
a wizard interface that connects you to an online library of feeds. Try managing
your information world with RSS, it is the future! In Optimal Desktop you can
bookmark RSS feeds like any other link, just drag those orange RSS (XML) icons
and bookmark them in Optimal Desktop!
Optimal Desktop Technology
Optimal Desktop is built on IE technology. You need windows and IE 6.0 or better
to work with Optimal Desktop.
When you first download Optimal Desktop, you receive the
Standard Edition. You can use the Standard Edition for Free. If you decide you
need more Tabs or link sharing features you can upgrade to the Professional
or Mobile Professional Edition from the Help menu.
Optimal Desktop Tabbed Web Browser Comparison Chart
The following chart compares Optimal Desktop to three of the most popular tabbed
web browsers on the Internet - Mozilla Firefox, Avant and MyIE. Optimal Desktop
offers a new paradigm in tabbed browsing, where tabbed are organized in a Matrix
configuration as opposed to a row (or two rows) of tabs.
The Matrix configuration makes it easier to manage and browser hundreds of
web pages with ease. All other applications offer a row of tabs that limits
the number of windows you can browse and manage with ease!

Optimal Desktop's other distinct advantage is its file and folder browsing
capability which Mozilla, Avant and MyIE do not have. Optimal Desktop was built
to integrate access to the entire work place, not just the web.
Link sharing in Optimal Desktop includes navigation. Further the ability to
export the links to a read-only browser really sets Optimal Desktop apart from
Mozilla, Avant and MyIE.
Mozilla, Avant Browser and MyIE offer flash and video blocking and the ability
to add thirty party toolbars to the browser. Optimal Desktop will be offering
these features in the near future.
We also feel that the other tabbed browsers, even though feature rich, are
more suited to power users, where as Optimal Desktop can be easily use by novice
users.
