VMWare and Parallels features for OS's?

[Kalixa]

Hello. I ordered my first mac ever this tuesday. I have heard of all the cool things which Parallels and VMWare for mac can do. Coerence, Unity, 3d acceleration and use bootcamp partition. I was wondering, do these features work for other OS's than Windows?

I know Parallels does NOT support many of the advanced features, such as Coherence, under non-Windows OSes. I don't know about VMware, though, having never used it before.
