    Does anybody know if there's any software for Windows that's similar to Quick Look of Mac Leopard? I really like this feature. Or any software that helps you flips through documents without actually opening them, the Ipod Touch also has this feature. Thanks

    Well, you must be talking about Leopard's Spaces feature.

    If you purchase VMware fusion or parallel desktop 3.0 you can have that option of what you are talking about.

    Yeah, I just realized that too. I read his post too fast.

    If he had an apple computer, then it would not be illegal.

    Yes Vista has something similar built in. Open any folder and click "Organize" --> "Layout" --> "Preview Pane"

    After turning this on you will be able to preview Documents, PDFs, Webpages (HTML), Music, Videos, and Pictures. You can actually add other formats to the preview handler but this more for developers than the layman.
