I have installed beta4 on my 20" Imac duo and am using it to run virtual Windows XP Home. My kids like to use MSN and would like to have the use of a webcam, I am acheiving this at the moment (outside in Mac OS X) with a USB webcam since MSN doesn't support the inbuilt 'Isight' camera. Will there be any support for the 'Isight' camera in future upgrades of 'parallels for Mac OS X'?
no isight in windows The builtin iSight on intel macs is USB based, and the biggest problem you'll face is a lack of drivers for windows. Even the bootcamp drivers from Apple do not include a usb iSight driver: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303572 The external iSight that has been available for several years is firewire based, and from previous posts, I gather Parallels does not have an immediate goal of exporting firewire devices to the guest OS. So, between those two major issues, I would not expect to use the iSight on Windows.
