I recently upgraded from OS X Lion (10.7.1) from Snow Leopard so that I could be up-to-date and benefit from any good features. Truthfully I liked the old Expose and Spaces better than this new Mission Control interface for virtual desktops…but oh well it will do. After upgrading to Lion the one thing that has…
