Parallels Desktop is Cool!

I've installed the latest build of Parallels Desktop for the Mac -- which lets me run a Windows XP box on my beautiful, quiet MiniMac. Its "coherence" mode is most impressive. It makes Windows windows appear on the Mac desktop much as if they were OS X windows. I can run the software that still requires Windows (e.g. Microsoft Visual Studio or MS Money) but still feel as if there is only one machine. Check out this screenshot of a Mac desktop with both Safari and Microsoft Visual Studio showing as windows. Notice the icons in the dock below for both VS2005 and Quickbooks!
