Hi Jane,
Spaces, as I understand it, are like virtual desktops that you can
flip between. For example, let's say you were working on a project
for work that required a Word Processor, Spreadsheet program, and
Calculator apps open while you worked. Maybe it is a productivity
report or something like that. You could open all three apps in one
space and keep them altogether. In a second space, you might have
your email and web browser open for some surfing and email reading.
This way, when you just want to work on your report, you work only in
that space, Command-Tabbing between only those apps. This keeps your
email and browsing apps open without them getting in your way while
you work, or your work programs getting in your way when you want to
surf and do email. For someone like me, who usually has a million
things open at once, this will be super nice.
As for stacks, it is like making a stack of papers and folders on
your desk instead of just having them all spread out across the
entire desktop. You make a little pile, and then you can quickly go
through that pile looking for what you need.
I hope this helps.

Can you describe just how the Spaces fgeatuire is supposed to
work? Al it seems to be is an area where you move applications rto
work. But really you can already access them via the dock or the
applications menu, so what is the deal? I just don't understand--
perhaps it's just too visual.
And, on top of that, I looked at the page that talked about the new
features and this stacks thing has me confused. But that's me.
