I just upgraded to Parallels 7. Not sure exactly what I am getting for my $50, but this made me unhappy. There is now a link for "Convenience Store..." directly in the Parallels menu when in Coherence Mode.
Well, so they're already scalping me for $50 for the upgrade, and now they're promoting their own "store" where presumably they get a cut for every product sold?
I'm upset about this, as it's a form of advertising. Advertising is fine in free software, especially when there is an option to pay to get rid of it, but I find advertising unacceptable on paid software (particularly at this price).
