I can try if you've got it up with you in about 2 weeks.<br /><br />Also, if you want multiple desktops on Windows, I highly recommend Dexpot. It's got good customizable shortcuts and so on.Gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494303584592768673.post-50807869790022508022011-08-14T14:29:07.588-04:002011-08-14T14:29:07.588-04:00Okay, so I think I just found out how to make it w...Okay, so I think I just found out how to make it work semi-properly.

I could add any window to one of the four (well, I had four, other people had more) windows, so I could have a space where I was chatting with people, and if I wanted to be productive, I could switch over to where I kept all of my research materials open. It was wonderful and useful and I'm not sure I can turn this into a functional machine (for me personally) without it.<br /><br />@Greg: If you select the name/url option before commenting you can type Greg in. And it's *supposed* to be easy, but I totally fucked up my desktop trying (I've still got a solid chunk of the hard drive that is completely inaccessible. I just used Lion Tweaks and I'm happier, but I still want spaces back.<br /><br />@James: Either I'm going to attempt it while I'm at home (well, I'll probably attempt it while I'm at home), or when I get toAdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727217993212205505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494303584592768673.post-34194691755461426032011-08-14T11:59:42.740-04:002011-08-14T11:59:42.740-04:00You probably knew I was going to say this, but tha...You probably knew I was going to say this, but that's more or less exactly the main reason I like Linux: choice and non-babying. Incidentally, though, if you like Spaces, Windows may not help there – it's one of the relatively few good features of Linux and OS X that they haven't copied yet, I don't think. Of course, if you need help dual-booting, you're welcome to call/text/whatever, but it could be a bit difficult to do over the phone, since I've never tried to dual-boot a Mac before. But I would think dual-booting Windows and dual-booting Ubuntu are likely to be about equally easy or hard."James"noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494303584592768673.post-15764409269125020202011-08-14T10:59:19.319-04:002011-08-14T10:59:19.319-04:00Dual- or triple-booting with Bootcamp is supposed ...Dual- or triple-booting with Bootcamp is supposed to be fairly easy, from what I hear. If you're worried about breaking things, I can try and help out in a couple weeks, but you should be able to do just fine with an online guide. People are also already making apps to undo some of the more annoying changes in Lion; see http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/10/how-to-make-apples-os-x-lion-less-horrible/ for one example.<br /><br />- GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494303584592768673.post-17105669662024694362011-08-14T07:58:23.742-04:002011-08-14T07:58:23.742-04:00Hasn't "Spaces" been replaced by &qu...Hasn't "Spaces" been replaced by "Mission Control" -- does pretty much the same thing but with a new name?<br /><br />I hate Lion, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
