Parallels Desktop 8.0.18101
The first maintenance release for Parallels Desktop 8 (version 8.0.18101) has been released with fixes for a number of issues related to the MacBook Pro with Retina Display. The update improves support for multi-display configurations that include Retina and non-Retina displays, fixes an issue where the mouse moved too fast when SmartMouse was disabled, and ensures that drag-and-drop from Mac OS X to Windows 8 works correctly. Additionally, the release improves overall performance for full-screen viewing in both single and multi-display configurations, fixes Flash video playback in Google Chrome for Windows, and resolves a keyboard malfunction while in the Coherence (non-Crystal)
view mode. ($79.99 new, $49.99 upgrade, free update, 346.6 MB, release notes)
My impression is that unless one intends to have Windows 8 or a retina Mac, upgrading from Parallels 7 to Parallels 8 is a poor investment. Does anyone agree/disagree?
