"I remember the day I was interviewed at VMware. I was asked what I would do to improve Workstation, and one of the things I said was that it would be nice to make a VM go rootless. That is, pull application windows out of the VM and make them integrate well with the operating system. I wasn't the only one. A lot of people wanted this type of feature. It's been discussed for years, but it's always been hard to find the manpower to do it. But competition is good, and we finally got some people on this feature. And it turned out spectacularly."

Sorry my ignorance but isn't this basically the same as Parallels' Coherence?

I just hope they don't start patenting this stuff otherwise we will end up with problems like when they granted a patent to VMware over something as trivial as system/OS 'snapshots' (!!)...
By the way, its a bit annoying to click the link and to go a blog, click the link in the blog and go to Digg and then clicking the link again to end up in You Tube.
