Integrating Mac OS X and Your Virtual Machine 150
By default, both Windows taskbar and Mac OS X Dock are visible. You can use any of the
Windows taskbar elements right from Mac OS X Desktop. You can hide the Windows taskbar
by choosing View > Hide Windows Taskbar. When the Windows taskbar is hidden, it is
convenient to use the Start button icon in the Dock. If you click this icon, the Windows Start
menu appears. To display this icon, select the Use Start button icon in Coherence option in the
Parallels Desktop appearance preferences (p. 50).

Application Switcher.
1 Press Command+Tab on the keyboard, you will see the Application Switcher bar across the
desktop with all applications running in both Windows and Mac OS X.
