Why wouldn’t someone want a Mac? (Oh, I feel the comments getting blown up on this one) With the latest version of Parallels coherence mode you can thankfully run Windows apps yet have the Windows OS itself transparent. It’s a really neat trick! But some people truly want to run Windows apps from the dock, for a true Mac experience. The “Very Simple Dev Blog” has come up with a neat little utility that can achieve this, called Docksync.

Note the utility requires .NET Framework 2.0 which should already be on your machine if you use Windows Update.

    Before too long, Mac/Win is just going to be some strange hybrid OS. Strange, but awesome.
