Rather than letting you download the update, Parallels now takes you to a login page! This is just nuts. I own a legal copy of the software (the full version of which is available for a trial anyway), and I resent having to jump through account creation hoops just to access a software update. I'm definitely going to give Fusion a serious look when the next paid upgrade for Parallels comes out. I can only imagine what a pain that's going to be when this is what they make you do for a *free* update!
