I've never had any problems with switching from full screen to  
windowed (or vice versa).  Command-enter does the trick.  Also,  
Parallels has USB support (maybe not 2.0, but I wouldn't call it  
"beta" for that).  Vmware is on version 5 now, and no firewire  
support, so I'd say the Parallels people are on track.  The virtual  
desktops is provided by "VirtueDesktops" http://virtuedesktops.info/  
(freeware).
