    It would be very nice if, in a future version of Parallels, the software could associate itself with .exe files with the effect that when you double click a .exe, the software boots Windows (if it isn't running already), maps the location of the .exe as a network drive and then launches the .exe. I expect the user would need at least Windows 2000 and Parallels would need some sort of, probably manual, mechanism to nominate a virtual machine for handling .exes, but otherwise it doesn't sound particularly beyond the bounds of what Parallels can already do.

    This feature + the coherences mode really would make Parallels the equivalent of "Classic" for people moving from Windows.
