I just inherently distrust anything that claims it's going to make
things work for me.  I want to micromanage software until it's earned my

The Realtek chip is particularly easy to emulate, and Solaris is
probably the only OS on the planet that doesn't ship with drivers for
it.  I think even the later releases of OS/2 support it.

I suspect that's exactly the case.  Almost all of the new features in
the Parallels beta are aimed at Windows users.
