Leopard, VM Ware, Vista, XP, Spaces, oh my
Just a short post to mention my software set up. It involves running Leopard with VMware (which I now find better than Parallels) on top running Vista. Where it gets fun is with Leopard’s Spaces. I have one space for Vista and snap back to the other spaces with other stuff.
What I have found hard to get use to with Spaces is that if you have an application (browser) in one space, then you can’t really create a new one in another space. Clicking on the icons in the dock fling you back to the original spot. It takes some getting use to but I really like it.
Running Vista on VMware works really well in its own space. You can use the ctrl arrow keys still and apps like Office 2007 seem to run just as they do on a Dell laptop.
Overall a good experience with Leopard so far. It is a nice update…
