Using an earlier version of Mac OS, I always used a Spaces window to load VMware Fusion. I could easily switch between OS and Windows by pressing the command and arrow keys. With Spaces no longer available, is it possible to switch between OS and Windows using only the keyboard? Thanks.
If you mean by using Cmd+Tab when Win 8 is running in Fusion 6, I just tried it and it works. However, it only works one way when Windows is running in full screen in that going back to Windows only gets to the VM Library; the full Windows screen does not reappear. On the other hand, if you have the VM running in a window, Cmd+Tab works in both directions.

What version of the OS are you running. If 10.7 or later, Spaces have been replaced by Desktops, which can be added just like Spaces.
Cmd+Tab works great. Thank you very much.
Actually, if you close the VM Library window, so only the VM window available is the one running the Windows OS in full screen mode, you can use Cmd + Tab to go back and forth in both directions. This allows you to quickly jump back and forth from Mac OS X to Windows. Hope this helps.
