    So Parallels 7 has been released, and those of us with existing versions can upgrade early (i.e. now).

    So now the question is, has anyone tried out the VMWare Fusion 4 beta, and have any opinion on a comparison between the two?

    (and just to make clear, I'm only interested in a comparison of VMWare Fusion 4 v. Parallels 7, not any of the prior versions).

    Is the upgrade free?

    Nope. You get an upgrade discount, but that's about it.

    it's free if you bought Parallels 6 in the last 30 days.
