Same price.  VMware and Parallels seem to take turns running specials, but not frequently.  I had (have) Parallels on my laptop so I waited around for a good price to get Fusion too.  Now they want me to pay for an upgrade and, cheap as I am, I probably will soon.  

It is not so much Mac only as VMware just decided to give a different name to their Mac workstation virtualization product.  VMware Workstation 7 is their latest for Windows.  It fills about the same niche.
