It is the only platform that does not offer some form of integrated virtualization. I really think that a 2,000 price tag is also ridiculous. This is not VMWARE, and personally Parallels really could have offered the virtualization platform for a cheaper price based on the fact that the actual hypervisor itself is derived from their desktop platform which sells for around $80.00. 500.00 maybe 2000.00 not a chance. Mac virtualization will not be a trend until it is built in like Hyper-v or KVM. Mac virtualization would be hot if it was built in to OS-X.
