I am a little confused by all this. Except for the grid, it pretty much works like spaces did before. I can group each desktop with the windows I want. Or maybe I am not understanding? When I upgraded, it has the same number of spaces defined as I did before and apps that were set to be in every space still were. I can put multiple safari windows in multiple spaces.
