I've been googling and scouring over the Parallels user manual for this info. I want to run windows and mac simultaneously in full screen mode. There is some old youtube videos of people able to switch quickly (the cube rotating switch) between the two OS. Can parallel still do that?
Got a tip for us?

Do you have the link to the youtube video?
Maybe it was Fast User Switching, one user was using Mac OS X and the other was using Mac OSX but with a VM running in full screen.
Fast OS Switching that used Parallels beta 6 and VirtueDesktop.
Using MacBook + 2GB Memory.
That is what it says in the description, found on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE1XQyT_IbA .
The Mac in the video also runs Mac OS X 10.4.

Yeah, that's what I always do too. But it does not have the cube effect the youtube video has~
yea thats true. i have no idea how to do that! there is the :alt: + Enter shortcut but thats not what the OP is after.
The answer has already been given, by the YouTube user and by me.
It's VirtueDesktop, a virtual desktop manager for Mac OS X before Spaces arrived. I used it in my Tiger days, and it had this effect.
It does not seem to run under Mac OS X 10.6 though, I tried.

I used a full copy of W7 Professional. I have heard the upgrade CD will not work because there is no base program to upgrade. You can get inexpensive full copies Windows 7 off eBay. I paid $168 for mine and it is a full retail copy that costs $400 new.
