> Hand not seen that you could do that. (Probably since I don't have or use a Mac) That's a cool feature. I would imagine you could invoke "unity' as well?

I would imagine the same, yeah. BTW, the "unity" feature has one curious characteristic, which you get used to but is a little odd at first.

The (Windows) VM is running, and has a desktop and all that, but the desktop is by default not rendered. Only the unity application windows that that would be displayed on the Windows desktop are rendered onto the Mac desktop. All well... until you pick up one of the Windows unity windows and move it around on the Mac desktop. It works, but the rendering algorithm timing on the Mac is necessarily not identical to the timing on the Windows VM. As a result you sometimes can glimpse a little of the Windows desktop background trailing behind the moving unity window. It's subtle, and strictly transient, but it's there.

For those who partook of certain mind-altering substances in long-distant decades, it's faintly reminiscent of the after-image "trails" that would follow one's waving hand or a moving vehicle. Trippy, man.... :)
