Parallels - must manually shut down VM before shutting OSX down?

[btownguy]

I'm running a couple of apps in XP through Parallels - coherence mode. Technically, I shouldn't have to see the Windows desktop. Question is - do I have to go in and manually shut down Windows before I shut down my MacBook Pro?

No, Parallels should just suspend the VM and quit during the OS X shut down process.
