Parallels Desktop for Macintosh
The makers of Parallels Desktop have announced that only the latest version of their virtualization software should be run in the new Mac OS Leopard. They cited a "list of issues" that they were working to fix, but did not explicitly list them.
Issues that I have experienced in Leopard running Windows XP in Parallels:
-Unexpectedly quitting about every 5-10 minutes
-No drag and drop capability between Parallels and Mac
-Unstable ethernet connection on a laptop that has both wired and wireless ethernet capability. This was really annoying. By the time I could get a stable wired ethernet connection and tried to log into needed college resources, Parallels would quit.
A beta fix has been posted. Use at your own risk! Beta software is pre-release and is not supported by Parallels.

I have downloaded and installed it, but have not yet tested anything.
