Don't forget the vulnerabilities it introduced into our Macs a few
months ago too! ;^)
On a more serious note, I will be curious to find out if the Mac can
monitor and/or control packets to/from Windows running under
Parallels (or any potential future Apple-supplied VM). If it can,
running Windows virtually on the Mac may be the most secure approach
to running Windows. For example, if some malicious code gains
administrative control of Windows and starts spraying attack packets,
the Mac side could potentially detect it and shutdown the packets.
Think of the Mac as a security co-processor for Windows.

PS. When is Apple going to release Common Criteria tools for the
Intel Macs? I miss my BSM audit trails on my new MacBook.
