Yes you should be mad at the marketing because I do think it's misleading a little. However with that said I have no complaints about spending $40 on 3.0. Because I know that 3.0 is only the beginning of 3D technology in VMs. Technology needs time to develop.
While you have the right to complain about marketing. However don't take this overboard.

It gets my goat that there are so many fanboy clowns coming on here with their sample size of 1 and defending this obviously shoddy product.
Well FWIW here is my equally valid story, sample size of 1... despite parallels 2.x series trashing my boot camp partition twice, getting stuck in windows without keyboard or mouse support, kernel panicking my mac etc etc I stuck with it and finally got it working.
So yesterday I upgrade to v3 and guess what? It doesn't work at all - IT IS COMPLETELY USELESS FOR ME! Forget 3d support, or blackberries, or phones or anything else. Simply booting my VM and trying to install the new parallels tools crashes the VM every time without fail.
It is a f@#king useless, steaming freshly laid turd of a program with more bugs than a congolese jungle.
The instant vmware final is released they will have my cash, and I will know I'm dealing with a professional company with a proven track record of delivering quality, tested products.
