Parallels upgrading scheme

I bought Parallels Desktop virtual machine a long time ago to run IE (and Windows) on my Mac and really loved it. But these days they just release paid upgrades every few months without adding any compelling features at all...

And then they keep nagging me about upgrading. I think it's time to give Virtualbox a try and maybe ditch Parallels altogether. Especially when they start pissing me off with quotes like these while pestering me for my money:

The P7 upgrade was a marked improvement over P6. When a software company does an upgrade and does more than fix a few bugs, when you go WOW every time, that impresses me. Parallels does that, over and over…— Paul Wolff

Yeah, NO!

Parallels, you suck.
