First off, I want to say, like many others have said, "Wow." I am very impressed by the works already done and very grateful that the Parallels folks are supporting my platform of choice. My personal wish list for the Mac OS X variant of Parallels is as follows: 1) I would love to be able to use my FireWire hard drives and have my internal FireWire ports as hardware my guest OSes can see and use. 2) I would love to be able to drag and drop .iso images onto the CD icon as the method of pointing the VM to the appropriate image. This would be much easier than control-clicking the little icon at the both of the Parallel's window and then navigating to change the image. 3) I would love to be able to use .dmg CD images as well as .iso. I realize that there are scripts that can can convert .dmg to .iso images, but having Parallels read the native OS X format would be great and would save me a fair bit of hassle. (I have been using the images as a way to get information in and out of the guest OSes when a shared folder or a network option is readily available.) 4) I would love to see much (percentage-wise) of of the VM's processor is churning. This might be a good indication of is the guest OS has stalled or frozen. Perhaps this could be a little percentage down on the Parallel lower icon bar. A bit like the 'Menu Meters' preference pane is kind of what I am envisioning. 5) I would love to use USB 2.0 devices at full speed. I realize that this is a request already made, but I wanted to reinforce the public desire / interest. 6) I would love for the manual to have statistics / specifications of a default, nondescript VM. For example, I would like to know what audio card Parallels is masquerading as. I am having a devil of a time installing OS/2 Warp 4 as I cannot figure out what network card I am supposed to tell the Warp installer to use. Perhaps a primer on installing OSes could be listed on the WEB site. (If such a listing is already there, please pardon my ignorance and inability to quickly locate it.) 7) I would love to be able to open and mount the virtual hard drives for some of the OSes directly into OS X. (Again, if this is already possible and just not obvious, please pardon my ignorance - I have already lost the cool, custom icon by trying with Disk Utility)
