The forum is now changing too fast for me to keep up with every entry so my apologies if any of the following have already been address. I've now had the opportunity to install Parallel Workstation on a non-tech user's machine and the following questions are consequences of that experience.
1) Could there be a way for PW to remember the display resolution in windowed vs. full screen mode so that as one switches between windowed and full screen, the resolution would change automatically. The problem we ran into is that when we changed the resolution in full-screen mode so as to fit perfectly to the native resolution, when we returned to windowed mode, the window was too big and we couldn't resize it or otherwise get to items at the bottom. Alternatively, (or perhaps even better) would be to have the windowed mode be properly scrollable so that when one returns to windowed mode, the window is made small enough to complete fit on the screen and the scroll bars can be used to move around the virtual "screen"
2) It would be very nice if one could put the equivalent of a Windows shortcut on the Mac desktop. For example, I'd like to be able to put a shortcut for MS Outlook on the Mac desktop such that if one double-clicks on it, it will switch to the PW VM (starting it if necessary) and then running MS Outlook inside PW.
