See this is one of the reasons that I turned my back on parallels once vmware fusion was released.
Parallels was available before vmware fusion, and at work we purchased about 10 licences for it. So when I actually came to need to use it a new version was out, so we bought one upgrade, (despite not even using up the 10 we had bought yet), so back then while vmware and parallels were both new, each was playing cat and mouse with the other over features, integration, 3d acceleration, compatibility... so fair enough, but now the features have settled down and this reminds me of the early days. need new features? buy the new version! Vmware fusion has had 3 upgrades in its shorter lifespan than parallels 6. I'm not saying that it makes either product any better or worse, but if I was a regular customer of parallels I'd begin to feel like I'm not getting as good a deal as compared to vmware, or virtual box.
