    Key repeat appears to be broken. I hold down the D key, and i only get one D instead of many.

    Would it be possible to make the 2-3 pixel border around the VM window go away along with the black surrounding rectangle?

    What about using a more mac-like toolbar and the hide toolbar button on the window titlebar working?

    I assume down the roat at some point, fullscreen on my MBP and my Apple Cinema Display will work?

    Drawing speed in windows seems a bit slow. Particularly with menus, i can see the highlight redraw.

    And last but not least. This VM is *FAST!* I love it so far, despite a few quirks.

    Just a note.

    With regard to drawing speed, if one goes to the Display Properties->Settings->Advanced and then to the "Troubleshoot" tab, and move the Acceleration slider once tick back, it helps tremendously.

    Indeed, I also show a considerable graphics speed boost. I wonder why this is.

    When I bumped the graphics acceleration back one notch, it said, "don't accelerate mouse and bitmap support." Which makes sense, because Parallel's drivers would take care of that fine... and yeah I notice a good speed improvement now after doing that as well. Thanks to whoever suggested it.

    cool, that worked great, parallels should do this be default when you install the tools.

    an interesting side note is that i tried the same trick (re video acceleration) on an OQO Model 01 and a Vaio from 2003 and it helped quite a bit on those as well.

    I wonder what the deal is.
