Ars reviews Parallels Desktop for MacOS X, and concludes: "People pondering the switch to a MacBook can rest assured that with the exception of USB device support and hardware accelerated 3-D applications, their needs will be well met by this little workhorse of a program. Between the networking that just works, the impressive speed and the inability of the client operating systems to know they are running within a 'virtual machine', I think you'll be hard-pressed to find software for any x86 OS that doesn't work within a Parallels VM."

Funny they mentioned USB.. I purchased Parallels BECAUSE OF THE GOOD USB support.
My wife has a software package for her business that runs only in Windows, and it uses 1) A propetary USB License Dongle, and a propetary USB memory card reader...and BOTH of those worked great.
Startup parallels, then plug your usb devices in and they are automatically added to the windows client.
In my experience the USB support worked GREAT, and my wifes loves being able to run that app on her MacBook!
