I like VirtualBox better than Parallels, and it's free. But I think Parallels does have a few fancy features that the open-source VirtualBox lacks.
Will they all work in Leopard?
----------
Yes. You don't for WINE, though. I recommend getting WINE (WineBottler is the easy way to do this) because it's 100% free and can run some Windows applications with speed and convenience.
It doesn't actually run the entire Windows OS. This makes it only work for some applications. Skyrim and Spore for Mac are actually the Windows versions wrapped in WINE. You should also have VirtualBox or Parallels or VMWare in case WINE doesn't work.
The Pirate Bay bundle is still $0.00
Just kiddin'
Yeah, get a bunch of stuff for one good program

Got it for ScreenFlow. A few of the others look neat, particularly Jaksta, Espionage, and maybe BusyCal.
I definitely *don't* need Parallels, Civ, or Speed Download. Probably none of the others, actually.
How do these aftermarket sales work? I would just need to give a buyer the serial number, right? Even if it was purchased under my own account name?

Sorry for this newbie question. Can I buy it and install it later when I purchase a newer macbook(waiting for ivybridge)?
Yup
Don't usually go for the bait, but Parallels and Screenflow got me. Have to admit I like My Living Desktop now that it's installed. Not a bad deal overall.
----------
I've bought these bundles before, and seem to own them whenever I change locations. Never had a problem. Worst case on some apps you may have to contact support for help but that's rare any more. Can't remember the last time I couldn't uninstall and reinstall somewhere else, but I'm sure that happens and also sure it's easily cured with a support contact.

No wonder they have a bundle, barring parallels and possibly screenflow, I don't see who in their right minds would ever purchase the rest of the software!
Yea... ScreenFlow and Parallels are definitely carrying this bundle lol
I believe as long as your credit card supports foreign usage or PayPal, it is no issue. I live in South Korea but I made the transaction with no problems.
And BusyCal - that is one awesome app [happy customer here]. It allows 10.5 and 10.6 folks to use iCloud with their calendar! That is priceless, IMO. BusyCal is basically what iCal used to be before 10.5, with a ton of power user options added in.
By far, the most useful app in the bundle for me.
I got it for Screenflow and Screenflow alone.
edit:
I looked more closely at the other stuff I got...
KeyCue is a real thing? I thought it was a text expander at first but... it's... I don't understand.
Also... *NOT* installing Civ. I have enough problems with Diablo sucking up my time.

There is no Skyrim for Mac, wrapped in WINE or otherwise. You'd have to get the Windows version and do your own wrapping.

One requires Lion (10.7): Espionage.
Most require Snow Leopard or later (10.6.x).
These ones work on Leopard:
Parallels Desktop (64-bit Intel, 10.5.8 or later).
BusyCal (PPC/Intel, 10.5.7 or later).
Attachment Tamer (PPC/Intel, 10.5 or later).
KeyCue (PPC/Intel, 10.5.8 or later).
BEST UPDATE BUNDLE!!! Just bought it because of Parallels. I had the 5th version. Looking at the other apps... wow, this is awesome! Just hope they don't come out with Parallels 8. I'm getting a new Mac soon, once they announce the new ones.
Macrumor guys, could you be a bit faster next time?
As soon as I've received their mail yesterday, I went on to buy the package, particularly in order to be in the first 10 000 to get that $50 app
Should you have posted this article 24 hours ago, I would have purchased the package thru your link.
(Next time, please, post these kinds of articles earlier than the MU folks' email.)
----------
They will and I'm afraid Parallels 7 won't be compatible with OS X 10.8 (AFAIK Parallels 6 isn't compatible with Lion either - I may be wrong tho, I'm still on SL because I didn't risk updating the OS.)
EDIT: Parallels 6 works fine on Lion.
EDIT 2: Parallels 7 works fine in 10.8 DP
