I guess only Apple know whether they're going to make it the default or not, but I'd be surprised if they're touting it as a major new feature if they're not planning to switch it on from the get go. From their demo video, thought, it looks like they're using their usual approach of "slick animation", plus having all workspaces' apps displayed on the dock at the same time, to make sure people grok it. http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/spaces.html Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Java Desktop System Team http://blogs.sun.com/calum +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
