Parallels build: 1970 Guest OS: WXPPro 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. rickb
