Intel 平台作業系統虛擬工具 Parallels 的測試新版本

• Introduced USB support. Connect your favorite USB devices directly to a virtual machine!
• Read the forum thread about the current status of USB support.
• Introduced shared folders. Share files between Mac OS X and any Windows XP or Windows 2003 guest virtual machine!
• Learn more about the Shared Folder function.
• Support for dynamic screen resolutions has been introduced. This means that when you choose a guest OS, a list of available screen resolutions is dynamically populated with primary OS resolutions.
• Fixed keyboard mapping problems and the mouse pointer lag problem
• Improved sound support. The sound lag problem has also been fixed.
  
• Fixed problems with sleeping/waking up the primary OS when a VM is running
• Introduced the ability to resize a guest when switching to fullscreen mode
• Added optional "transition cube" animation for transitioning to and from fullscreen mode. This is a really cool feature that makes switching between OSes in fullscreen mode very easy. There's a video of an early version of this feature in action here.
  
• Fixed several kernel panics
• Added default network adapter for bridged mode
• There's a new and improved Parallels Tools package in Beta5. To update, open your VM, log in, click the "VM" menu, and click "Install Parallels Tools"

Also, we now have more than 100,000 beta testers! Thanks (again) to everyone who's helping make this the best product possible. The fact that we're moving so fast with this beta program is a direct result of your support, enthusiasm, and hard work.
