[X4U] Parallels vs. Boot Camp (USB 2.0 vs. 1.1)

I hope this touches enough on how we use Macs to not be considered off
topic.

My sense of the Boot Camp vs. Parallels issue at the moment is that
Parallels probably makes more sense to most users except for those
interested in full frame rates in 3D blood and gore games.

However, there's one thing that puzzles me about Parallels, and I don't know
how to make an inquiry at their website (cannot find a link to ask
questions). Even in the release version, they only support USB 1.1. My guess
is that this will dramatically impact pda users who use things that require
USB synchronization, such as Windows Mobile devices, or USB storage devices.

Anyone know where I can learn more about this? Are there active Mac/Windows
listservs that I might subscribe to to understand this better?

I have Boot Camp installed on my MacBook Pro, and I've used it enough to
tire of rebooting to switch operating systems.
