Not sure. My parallels VM actually runs off the bootcamp partition - I
had to load bootcamp because my DeLorme mapping software/GPS puck do run
as well in emulation - there's a significant amount of latency with the
little green arrow due to the third-party driver for the usb receiver.
When I'm in the car, I boot into XP and it works just fine.
I'm hoping that they improved the hardware transparency with regards to
the usb ports as well.
