I am waiting to see what bug reports come out before installing it. It's a free upgrade to registered 1.x users.

One of the best features I have read about is the ability to set default program handlers from either OS. For example, in VMWare 1.x if I click on a mailto: link in Windows I can't force it to use Mac Mail, it will use whatever the default Windows mail client is. In 2.x you can tell it to use any app on either OS.
