Many years ago I purchased a retail copy of Parallels. Some time later, the product began displaying a splash screen on startup featuring ads for an upsell product. Ads in paid software is unacceptable; I immediately uninstalled Parallels and vowed to never give the creators money again. This experience will always be the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the name "Parallels".
