My views on Spaces

I have never used any type of virtual desktop manager before using
spaces. I loved expose and still do but have discovered that it is far
simpler using spaces to manage open windows. I use to have a 22"
external display connected to my macbook pro to increase my desktop
real estate. I have discovered that it is not really necessary if you
use spaces. In essence, spaces provides you with a number of
additional desktops to place your windows on. If you want to view
another open window you simply have to move to the space in which it
is open. MacOS Leopard have taken an existing technology and made it
so integral into MacOS that you wonder how you every worked without
it. The moment I sit in front of a pc without spaces it feels
restricted and irritating.
