    A few notes from usage, primarily with USB flash devices - issues/wishes:

    • Would like USB2 (of course).
    • Would like USB/other peripheral device enabling icons (at the lower right of the frame) available in full screen mode, somehow.
    • I release the device in windows, but then when I disconnect in the Parallels icon, Windows complains it wasn't disconnected properly. It was.
    • U3 devices don't work. Likely because they want to mount a CD image & can't find a device entry.

    Like I said, they're nits. I'm happy in general I can get to the USB devices from the guest OS, and I do like explicitly connecting to them (and other peripherals) manually, rather than having Parallels trying to second-guess what I want to do. I generally leave them disabled on start up, and enable when I need. Keeps the guest OS from robbing the device when I want to use it on the Mac.

    Carry on.
