is the Apple product parallels main source of income, anybody know?

Parallels’ team says they have sold nearly 100,000 copies. At $80 a pop, the sales are strong enough to keep this tiny company going for a while.

Considering that apple currently sells about 1.x million Macs per quarter, 100K parallel licenses are HUGE (if this was all mac in one quarter).

I don't think one in 10 Mac users buys parallels, although the high end users probably do. I think this is just another sign that apple sales are exceeding estimates.
