Parallels could be excused for not supporting Retina mode. Availability for the Retina hardware has been non existent for developers prior to the release to consumers. Parallels are in good company with ISVs such as Adobe also lacking retina support.
The difference between Parallels and Adobe is that Adobe acknowledges that it lacks Retina support. Parallels, having the same pixel doubling as Adobe, has broadcasted news about full retina support through their press release channels and the story has been picked up by the unsuspecting media.
That is outrageous and inexcusable and is simply false marketing.
