Parallels' "MacLook" option may seem a wee bit rough around the edges by Mac standards, but to me it is an improvement over the clunky "XP" look. However, there is a practical benefit as well. In running the MacLook, I discovered I am also running the much faster and stripped down "Windows Classic Style" user interface. For those like me who use Windows for productivity applications such as Quickbooks Pro and Streets & Trips, use the Parallels Window view, and keep a small (512MB) machine, MacLook is a noticeable performance improvement. Just sayin...
