Aero Glass under Parallels

Has anyone gotten Aero Glass working under Parallels on a MacBook Pro? Everything else seems to be working for me under Vista with the exception of Aero. Also, has anyone successfully done the performance rating without it erroring out? I know a MacBook w/Boot Camp (yes, I know its not a MacBook Pro) gets around a 3. I'm curious to see what a MBP gets under Parallels.

Considering that Parallels is emulating a really crappy video card that is not directX complient I doubt it would pass any tests...
The interesting thing is if Boot Camp is used, Aero works fine on the MacBook Pro.

Not that interesting. Parallels has to do software emulation of a video card. Boot Camp allows native drivers to access hardware. Completely different.

Not supported, but you don't need it. It is just fluff.
When I was running it on my Dell, I had Aero and I liked it a lot. The 3D view of the running applications was quite useful.
