On the Mighty Mouse front - why won't it click? Out of the box, Leopard seems to be configured so that both left and right mouse clicks are 'primary' - a quick visit to the mouse control panel preference thingy will see that put right. (Sorry if granny/eggs).
If you have it configured like that already, then maybe it's your fingers. You need to keep your left finger off of the mouse if you want it to pick up a right click. It takes a little getting used to, and I know a lot of people who've tried it and given up in disgust. It's not one of Apple's finer moments, although I quite like it. I'm much more annoyed at how hard it is to clean the damn scroller ball.... :-(
The processors in your beast must be fantastic, so with all that ram I'd expect it to be a stunning PC under fusion/parallels. :-)
Incidentally, I found that Parallels is much more forgiving of moving between hardware than Fusion is. XP under Fusion invariably wants to reactivate itself when I switch a VM between machines, and I'm not finding this problem with Parallels at all. Might be something that gets me to swing back to Parallels in the short-medium term.
