Ok, so this will be my first time using Parallels. I've got it installed and I have XP SP3 installed as well.

My next question is, how can I make the XP view full screen, and only be used on a specific 'Space'? - Using Spaces.

Coherence

Parallels has a feature known as 'coherence' that allows XP to integrate into the OS X interface quite nicely.

Try it out.

I usually start Windows in the upper right space and once it's all started up (I give it a minuted to completely start up) just go to view -> full screen. Then you can CTRL+arrow between OS desktops. I love this way better than Coherence.

BTW, this should bei n the "Other OS" subforum.
