For my work, I need to be able to use Microsoft Fingerprint Reader. Though Parallels sees it and reader "blinks" (when connected to "real" XP, reader emit red glow, which indicates that it is working. with Parallels XP guest it just blinks) during reboot of my Win XP guest, in the end it does not work. RC1 does work slightly better than last beta (on the boot I was asked to provide appropriate driver for the reader). Still when all sad and done reader is not operational Still great product . I do hope that you will iron out all this minor issues sooner or later, but as any other user, I hope for sooner rather then later. Andrei Tchijov
