So, how would people react if Parallels said something like:
"OK, some of the new features in the beta are really cool but they raise a lot of issues. We're going to pull them for the moment and concentrate on the basics"
My suspicion is that there would be a complete lack of agreement on which were the "basics" and which were the "cool but non-essential" features. Personally, I think that boot camp support - while an incredibly attractive feature - is such a can of worms (you are "virtually" yanking the system disc out of one machine and plugging it into another every time you switch) that it was a mistake to open it.
Plus, Parallels have to be ready for VMWare. My current impression from the reviews is that the "production" Parallels vs. Fusion Beta is win-some-lose-some but that Parallels RC3 blows it out of the water and is closer to completion.
As for "when will it support my phone/PDA" - my experience is that phone/PDA syncing is pretty flakey even on a "real" Windows PC. I take it that people are aware of "The Missing Sync" (
http://www.markspace.com/) - which syncs Windows Moble and PalmOS devices with the Mac (my experience - no more flakey, and much more friendly, than using windows).
