a feature i would like to see in future releases is some sort of status regarding the Parallel Tools. this would show in the Property View page listing i would couple this with a "nag" message that alerts people to the fact that they may not have the Parallel Tools installed. its easy to forget to add the Tools, esp for people who are new to virtualization, a little warning message on window border, or on startup can be a helpful reminder for people to not skip this crucial step that makes everything work so much better. you will likely need to support some sort of upgrade feature as well for situations in the future where a new version of the Parallel Tools becomes available that supercedes a version that might already be installed you can see similar implementations in both Virtual Server and VMWare, but there is definetly room for improvement in all of them thanks again for the great early stage product and the quick turnaround on problems/requests boogie
