VirtueDesktops dev calling it quits

VirtueDesktops Until Leopard and Spaces makes it appearance (sometime this Spring), fans of virtual desktops had a couple third party options. My personal favorite for both functionality and price reasons, was VirtueDesktops (site might still be down right now). I used it for a while on my Powerbook because desktop real estate was at a premium and I found virtual desktops the best way to deal with that.

Due to growing time commitments necessary and the impending release of the aforementioned Spaces, the developer has decided to call it quits. He originally planned to release a final stable version for Tiger users (as not everybody is going to do the cool thing and upgrade). This doesn’t mean the end of the project though. He’s offered to give the source to a caring developer who wishes to see this through. Any takes in the audience?
