From http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/beta_testing/ :
There are a lot of new features and enhancements introduced in this Beta, such as:
* New Look and Feel - completely redesigned windows and easier to follow dialogues to make Desktop for Mac more user-friendly than ever
* Parallels Coherence - shows Windows applications as if they were running natively on your Mac. Use it to truly enjoy the best of both worlds at the same time - no more switching between Windows to Mac OS!
* True “Drag and Drop” functionality - a long awaited feature that lets you seamlessly drag and drop files and folders from Windows to Mac OS X and vice versa
* Read/Write Boot Camp partition - use your Apple Boot Camp Partition as a virtual HDD for Parallels Desktop for Mac
* Boot from Boot Camp partition - boot your 32-bit Windows XP Boot Camp partition directly in Parallels Desktop for Mac
o NOTE! Current Build 3036 supports NTFS Boot Camp partitions only. FAT32 partitions are not supported
o VERY IMPRORTANT! You need to boot your Boot Camp Windows XP installation natively and install Parallels Tools for Boot Camp before you boot it in Parallels Desktop for Mac
o ALSO VERY IMPORTANT! It is not possible to suspend Virtual Machine connected to Boot Camp for integrity reasons
* Virtual Machine Catalogue - now all of your virtual machines are available through a centralized VM catalogue which appears on each Parallels Desktop for Mac instance
* One-click Virtual Machine Aliases - automatically create a desktop shortcut for your virtual machine with the OS Installation Assistant, by dragging-and-dropping from title bar, or by pressing Command-Option keys combination. Clicking on Alias automatically starts the Virtual Machine
* Resizable Main Window - resize the Parallels Desktop for Mac main window as you do with any other Mac application
* Auto-Adjusting Screen Resolution - Windows auto-adjusts its screen resolution to the actual main window size
* Parallels Transporter Beta bundled - migrate your real Windows PC, or existing VMware or Virtual PC VMs to Parallels virtual machines! Learn more about Transporter >>
* Improved graphic performance - up to 50% faster!
* Connect/disconnect USB devices schema improved - no more annoying “wait 5-10 seconds” message on USB device connecting to Parallels Desktop for Mac!
* Up to 5 Virtual NICs - now each Virtual Machine can have up to five virtual network interfaces
* Enhanced Shared Networking Mode - run Cisco VPN and many other complex networking applications in conjunction with Connection Sharing Mode
* Switch between networking modes on-the-fly - switch networking modes while the virtual machine is running
* Transparent mapping of Command-AZXCV key combinations - now you can also use Mac copy/paste key combinations in Windows
* Configure Shared folders on-the-fly - add/remove/configure shared folders on-the-fly via menu or Status Bar icon without shutting down your Virtual Machine
* Drag and Drop CD/FDD images and folders to the Parallels Desktop statusbar - just drag and drop CD or floppy image you want to connect or Mac folder you want to share onto a respective statusbar icon
* Power On/Power Off/Suspend/Resume/Pause animation - just try and see! We’re very interested in your feedback about the feature
