I'm really hoping that Fusion's rendering problems go away on Snow Leopard, or they issue a fix later. Hate the parallels icon overlays (the two orange bars), wish there was an option to turn it off, makes navigating through the Windows Applications folder an ugly mess.

My gf runs several apps that render their own UI's, and these have serious problems in Fusion (transparent overlays in Fusion appears as huge rectangles that can't be clicked thru, and dragging is a stuttering mess).
