An out-of-bodywindow experience

The new Coherence mode in Parallels is really trippy. You run Windows in its own virtual machine, switch into Coherence mode, and the open applications appear on your dock and the Windows background goes away to reveal your background. Actually, it's a bit of a trick with Windows' background (the apps aren't really running on OS X) but still Parallels did a great job of making it seem like all your apps are in the same place! They also seem to have improved the cut-and-paste so that you can use the Mac Apple+C to copy while still in Windows.

Mac + Win + Parallels = wow
