The newest build of Parallels 7 has been updated for retina displays.

With the rMBP set to best for retina mode, P7 runs well in 1440x900 full screen mode.

I wanted to try windows at 2880x1800 so Photoshop could show pixels 1:1.
I can select and set 2880x1800 but the result is not 1:1, it is still scaling.

The only way I could get 2880x1800 to work correctly was to first set OSX to 2880x1800.

Anyone find any settings to get it work to in retina 1440 mode?

Here's a test image :

DL and save then view in OSX retina mode Preview app.
The text is small but crisp and sharp, pixels are rendered 1:1.
In P7 the text is small but shows scaling artefacts.
