[olug] Parallels

[Adam Lassek]

When you switch from full-screen to windowed mode, the resolution
stays set to your full screen size, so you have to use the scroll
bars. If you want windowed mode to be at a lower resolution so it fits
on your screen, you have to manually change it every time.

Trust me, you would consider partial USB support a problem if you're
waiting five hours for data to transfer from an external hard drive,
and firewire is much more prevalent on Macs so thats a pretty big
problem too. Yeah, there's work-arounds but nontheless I would
consider these to be basic features.
