FWIW, I think they've gotten better in the last release or two.

My sincere hope, if Fusion is going to go away, is that Parallels will have an influx of customers and not be forced into doing silly advertising/bundling things to maintain their revenue.

I have always preferred Parallels and every time I evaluate the two, Parallels integrates better and performs better.

Like for other products? I've never seen an ad in parallels and have been using it since it first came out.
