It looks like Parallels is going to be the winner. They have announced an RC of Parallels 3.0, with the final to be available 'in a few weeks.' For anyone else tired of Bootcamp or rebooting to play a Windows game, it look like the solution is finally here; I'm not counting out VMWare entirely. Obviously it will depend on how soon they can catch up, but there is some serious first-mover advantage here for Parallels."

I'm glad I bought Parallels yesterday. Now I get to pay another $40 to upgrade, whereas if I had waited a week it wouldn't have been an issue.

Why can't more companies give upgrades to those who buy just before the release of a new version. Even Microsoft have done this on a large scale in the past, why not the rest?
