    I've been working with P8 now for a few weeks. I have been running Parallels since 6.0. I have a Macbook Pro 2010 model with 8G, 2.66Ghz and a 960GB SSD. (No that's not a typo!)

    I run two W8 VM's and have a Lenovo DisplayLink unit with the MBP built in display and two 24" Dell Monitors. I was really very, very impressed with the P8 release being able to take advantage of all these displays. The DisplayLink is using one USB port on the MBP and drives my right-hand display and the native MBP display port drives the left-hand monitor.

    When I take my W8 VM and go full screen with the P8 option -->View, -->Use All Displays in Full Screen....i get W8 across all three monitor as if I had a real laptop running W8 natively. This is just fantastic and I really appreciate the Parallels team paying attention to details like this!!

    In a word - awesome!
