One of the bigger annoyances I have with it is a lack of a way to access physical optical discs. :/ Now when I want to get files off CDs in 64bit win 7 and 64bit vista I use a real Mac to put the files on an image and copy that image to the PC. It may work most of the time but it is far from ideal.

Also HFwhateverExplorer under vista and win 7 seems to trash the resource forks of files if you try to copy from image to image, it works fine in XP however. -_-
Yeah, the loss of cdenable.sys is annoying. I wish someone would try to build a 64-bit version. The driver signing wouldn't an issue for me as I override it for other drivers. But iso images work, so at least there's a way around it. BTW, you can image the CDs in Windows just fine.

As for HFVExplorer, I haven't noticed any problems with trashed resource forks, but then I mostly do any moving between images inside SheepShaver. I did use HFVExplorer to copy files from images to floppies on occasion and didn't notice any trouble there. But I'll pay closer attention next time.
