I'm looking for a new laptop, and having just played with the gorgeous new retina MBP pro I am tempted... I do need to run a lot of Windows software though, I notice parallels has been updated for retina, I wondered if anyone was using this combination and what the clarity of Windows apps is like?

I know Fusion works fine with it.

Thanks saspro, have you seen it in action, does it scale intelligently and do Windows/Apps look crisp like the Mac OS, without resorting to being miniature?

(It's either a new MacBook, or a high end Windows laptop for this purpose you see!)

As Windows icons aren't designed for retina it scales them for you. All osx icons were redesigned to work on retina.
