[QUOTE="D'artagnan, post: 1606003, member: 77772"] Chsag, Not asking anyone to be a fortune teller. $49 dollars for a regularly $79 piece of software seems like a good price. A price that good, I have to ask myself what the catch is. Is it priced this good lacks functionality of the retail version? Is it not upgradable, and I will have to pay full retail price on Version 11? There are folks on this board with a lot more experience and knowledge than I have about this. I realize they can't predict the future, but I figured there are some here with enough experience to be able to offer some insight into how this OEM thing works. Have past versions of Parallels OEM been the same as retail? No guarantee the next one will be like that, but if they have done it that way in the past, you could have some expectation they would keep doing it. As far as being close to the Windows 9 debut, I seem to have misunderstood Mister Softy's September 30 event. I thought that was the debut of Windows 9, but I now see it is a preview. My bad.
