    Having just read Walt Mossberg's June 15 write-up on the program where he says "So what are the drawbacks? I couldn't eject a CD in Parallels without switching back to the Mac environment." I thought I'd share something I found because I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere here.

    Rather than having to come out of running the VM full-screen and back into OS X to use [Menu] > Devices > CD/DVD-ROM > Disconnect, CD/DVDs can be ejected from within Windows by simply right clicking on the CD/DVD icon in Explorer and selecting Eject. Works a treat in XP. Don't know if that option is available in other versions, but maybe others can confirm?
