The best way right now to implement MIDI, is just buy this software:

MOLCP
http://www.musiclab.com/products/rpl_info.htm

I think PARALLES team should make somthing like this, but just conecting to IAC (virtual midi port on OSX), on that way is possible route midi on both directions OSX TO WINDOWS - WINDOWS TO OSX

And for routing AUDIO fom windows to OSX i think PARALLELS TEAM shoud make some deal with propellerhaeds for rewire, or write some driver for route audio from windows to any software inside osx.

This 2 ways can be the best usefull ways for PRO producers (specially the midi way)

I hoppe some day we see MIDI implemented.... i seevery interesant info in the job section of PARALLES, this show they really have interest on MIDI and AUDIO pro AREA:

I know a way

My engineer found a way i have been using it for 4 mths routing audio and midi thru parallels to logic and pro tools on the mac side reply to this post and i will give you a walk thru
 
Midi Implementation with Parallels

Famous Audio ! How did you route Midi to Logic through Parallels on the Mac Side?
 
midi, osc and audio is streamable by lan, but its an ugly hack. if you can live with a few more miliseconds of latency its ok, but it somehow feels like one would be better off routing across the real lan to an extra machine and use the extra free processor power and set of inputs; having to set things up on both sides of the OS to make it work everytime you want to get some sound going can get quite annoying.

plus, without the firewire support, using any external soundcards is a disapointment under parallels.

eagerly waiting for the day to be able to use multi OS sound apps seamlessly under just one machine. *sigh*
 
Yeah, the musiclab MIDI over ethernet product works very well. While I do most of my MIDI work on the Mac, there are a couple of very interesting soft synths and other tools that are only available under Windows. It would certainly be nice to have access to them directly --- parallels would need to support transport of both MIDI and Audio
