Known Issues:

 

* USB support problems:

o Right now, only USB flash drives work with virtual machines. USB device support will be expanded soon.

o You must eject the USB device from MacOSX before to connecting it to the guest OS

* The Shared Folders feature is not available for Windows 2000 guests, but will be soon.

* It is not possible to create subfolders in the Shared Folder inside a guest OS.

Haven't tested it out yet, but i'm impatient to try the USB and sound lag problem,
