When I first got my hands on a copy of Leopard (if I remember correctly I snagged a copy of the beta just before the Golden Master, which was still very buggy) Spaces became my favorite feature (along with Quick Look).

With the recent release of Leopard 10.5.3 Spaces has seen some great enhancements. The most notable one has an excellent write-up by John Gruber over at Daring Fireball. I’m not going to discuss this new feature because I feel that John has done an excellent job at that task.

One feature I would like to discuss is one I discovered today. This feature is much less prominent than the former, however it is still very useful. In 10.5 through 10.5.2 in order to add an application assignment for Spaces, you had to click the plus button and search through your Applications folder to find the application you wanted to add. In 10.5.3 you are now presented with a pop-up list of all of your currently running applications and can quickly add an application assignment. This small enhancement is welcomed with open arms and will save precious seconds while using my Mac.
