ARGH. I'm still bitter over the introduction of Spaces in the first place—a crappy implementation of virtual desktops that nevertheless drove all the third-party versions out of business—and now they cripple their already-weak version further?

Over and over in this review I'm seeing Steve Jobs's message come through loud and clear: "You should be on an iPad. We're going to make Macs as much like iPads as we can, even when this makes no sense and observably degrades productivity and user experience. If you're still somehow holding on to your non-iPad existence, we don't give a shit."




Spaces is now implemented in a way people might actually be willing to use. That's what Apple typically does.


A bit hyperbolic don't you think? Have you used Lion yet?


What changed in spaces? I really can't stand stock spaces in snow leopard and am currently using hyperspaces to get reliable hotkey switching in spaces, if something breaks this I would like to know so I can not upgrade.


According to the review, Spaces can no longer be laid out spatially, only in a line.

Separately: I've used Keyremap4Macbook to get my desired hotkey-switching behaviour in Spaces.
