10.5: Use Spaces to isolate virtual machine sessions

Actually that's helped me understand Spaces no-end, thanks.

I think the reason I don't see Expose and Spaces as very different is that I run almost everything full screen because of my relatively small screen (MacBook Pro). Given that, there's not a lot of difference between the two - they are both just a collection of full screen windows with no layout as such.

If I had enough room on my monitor to arrange collections of related windows together (e.g. for dragging images from finder to a word doc), then spaces could become very useful. As it is, I just drag from one full screen window, to bottom right (Expose hot corner), hover over the window I want to drag to, then to that window.

I never saw the use of Exposé (or Spaces) hot corners until you explained what you use them for: drag & drop. This is GENIUS. Thanks!
