WIth regard to the sound not functioning on the 13-inch MBP while in the Windows VM, I have not had any problems at all. The 13-inch MBP I is maybe a year old and provided by my employer. So, even with all their tweaks and such, I have yet to encounter any failure in sound while in the VM. I am wondering if this is more an issue with older 13-inch MBPs. Scott
