I’ve bought 4, 5, and 7, and have seen no improvements on my 3ghz iMac with 4GB RAM and spinning HDD. It’s almost unusable.

From my experience Parallels needs constant attention and updates! Do you really want to continually pay for the luxury (lol) of running Windows on your Mac. I finally decided that I’m not giving Parallels another dime, when boot camp is stable and much faster! Obviously, the only advantage is running the two OS’s concurrently, but the truth is how many times do you really need to resort booting up Windows anyway?
