    Hey guys,

    I'm currently using Spaces to switch between Snow Leopard and my Parallels 5 VM of Windows 7. I have two spaces set up, all my mac stuff in space 1, and Windows 7 running full screen in space 2.

    I have an XP VM that I'm not regularly using, and am attempting (so far unsuccessfully) to setup VMs for Windows 98SE, and Windows 3.1.

    It appears that Spaces does not treat each separate VM as its own program, but treats Parallels as one big program. So far it appears that if I wanted to have let's say, Snow Leopard in space 1, Windows 7 in space 2, Windows XP in space 3, Windows 98 in space 4, and Windows 3.1 in space 5....I would not be able to do that. It seems like I'd have to have all the VMs in space 2, click over to space 1, click on the Parallels desktop icon to bring up the VM list and switch that way which would be very tedious.

    Does anybody know of any ways around that? I'm all ears. I know that I could use a variety of programs besides Parallels to accomplish what I'm after, but a) I don't want to buy a bunch of programs, b) I don't want to illegally download programs that I didn't buy, and c) I just like Parallels, what can I say, they have a good product.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks and God Bless!

    -J
