You can move windows to different spaces in Mission Control.  Click on a space while holding down the option key, then drag the app window from the frontmost selected space to another space.

Agreed, this is true, and I really missed this feature initially since I had assigned many of my oft used apps to open in particular windows spaces.  I had to adopt a new paradigm with the current iteration of mission control, and I think I'm liking it better.

Ah I see. I couldn't figure that out at the Apple Store and when I asked one of the employees, he told me that you couldn't move windows from a different space to another space.

Gee, I thought they trained their people better than that, although I've done a number of things and solved more than a few Mac problems that Apple either didn't admit to at all or simply had no solution for.  I'm waiting for them to call me back on an open issue for Lion as we speak.  Don't get me wrong, they're far better than the "other guys" up North, but they're not quite perfect.

Not sure if you guys know about this already, but here is a great page of shortcuts for Mac like for "¢":

I love this feature on the Mac keyboards!  Using the various accent shortcuts is useful for writing words in Spanish and Chinese Pinyin.

In lion you can just hold down a key for a bit and you get a pop-up for the character variations that you can select with a number.

You can, for example, assigning parallel on desktop 2
Go to desktop 2, open parallel, right click on the parallel dock icon, go to options, under assign to - checked desktop 2, done. Everytime I open parallel, it will open on desktop 2. However, don't close desktop 2 on your mission controll since it will erase the settings.

Interesting. It may be dependant on the app you are using, the new Safari and TextEdit on my MacPro here do it, but Chrome doesn't.

Nice find! Thanks for that. I was wondering how I now assigned apps to all desktops.

It's easy, under assign to, assign to all desktops. The apps will follow you. I used it for my ichat/YM.

It has been 9 days since my upgrade. Beside getting used to mission control instead of expose & space, the upgrade has been painless. However, I found one other problem, My macbook w/ 2.2 core 2 duo, 4gb ram and 7200rpm hard drive has run hotter under lion compared to Snow leopard. The cpu's temp used to range between 50-55 under snow leopard, now it idle around 60 and shoot up to 70 easily. Thus, the fan noise and the temp is annoying. 
 
I've been using parallel a lot lately though because it is faster and workable under lion while it was sluggish and frustrating to work with under snow leopard. However, even if I closed parallel, the temp still not going down, stayed at 69-70, until I restart it. I'll try to not use parallel for the next few days to see if parallel is indeed the culprit.

Has anyone tried VMware Fusion on Lion yet? It seems like a lot of people use Parallels instead, which actually might be my next purchase (software-wise). VMware seems kind of sluggish for me.

I assume you're running the latest version of Parallels?

Yup, so far I can conclude that regardless of parallel, lion indeed running hotter than snow leopard. It doesn't take much for my fans to kick into 6k+ rpm. I hope they fix it soon.
