Well I've had Neodesk 3.0 for quite some time and I find it very useful. It
has keyboard commands for all your normal pop down menus. It is very
custsomizable and has other features to numerous to mention. I use it every day
and find it hard to go back to the normal atari desktop.
A happy customer.

There is a autoboot program whose name escapes me at this time at atari.archive
either COLOREMU or MOMOEMU (something like that). That does this quite well. 
I've only encountered a few mono programs that don't work with this emulator.
The catch is the screen resolution is obviously not as good and the response of
the mouse movement is also slower.
