... is about to be released, and it's not a small upgrade.
In addition to DirectX and OpenGL support, which helps Vegas and more, there is also copying of unlimited size files back and forth between OS X and Windows (even drag-and-drop between the desktops...), full USB 2.0 support, Shared Networking so that the Windows virtual machine is "invisible to hacks, pings and bots on the Internet ," and much more.
David Pogue has a glowing review of it in today's NY Times, and he's especially happy that his Dragon NaturallySpeaking is working perfectly under Windows XP on it, which was not possible in Parallels 2.5.
One thing that Parallel's Sales Prevention Department has done a particularly good job on is the hiding of their Maintenance License.
I finally found that MacMall for example offers a one year ditto for $13.95, which offers all Upgrades (such as 2.5 to 3.0, and they say they will always have more than one Upgrade per year) for free. Without this, you pay 50-60% of full price per Upgrade.
Point updates are always free.
