That's more than two features ... ;)

I agree, though - being able to share sound between MOL & Linux would be
great and the removable media thing is a definite plus.

One other thing I'm interested in - and it must be a doozy to do - is
USB support. Neither VMware (x86) nor MOL can do this, which is why it
must be rather difficult. I'm not even sure how one would go about
doing this ... some devices will be recognized and attached in Linux,
others won't be. So, maybe just those that aren't recognized by an
active driver get attached to a faux USB bus that's shown to the guest OS?
