Moses and you other Mac Parralels users READ

Have you guys checked out the latest build with Coherence?

It's friggin awesome.

How do I explain this?

You boot Parralels and you have a new "window" mode available.

Coherence gets rid of the Windows Desktop completely. It just leaves the taskbar at the bottom.

You can launch apps and they run in their own windows on top of the the OS X desktop as if they were an OS X native app. If it were not for the ugly Windows frames you would not know the difference.

And the apps even show up in when you command tab to cycle thru your open apps.

It seems to be a bit of a hit on the redraw but the way these guys address stuff they'll have that worked out in a month.

Check it out, Windows Media Player, IE and Kapersky alert box floating on my OS X desktop.

No more looking at that nasty UI from Redmond.

Just discovered something else, you can also drag n drop from the desktop straight into an open XP window and vice versa and contextual menus pop up in their native OS.
