Using 1970 in full screen mode and Quicksilver as an application launcher I am able to launch Mac OS X apps. Hot key into Quicksilver select app and launch. After an app launches the dock appears on the screen over the Windows task bar where I can launch other OS X apps. If I click on a windows app (now in the background) the dock disappears until I use Quicksilver again. Just an FYI to play with for those with too much time on their hands. Parallels is great! - Keep up the good work. Orrin New MAC User (IMAC Core 2 Duo).
