Does Marvin's Utility now allow Parallels to run without having to resort to editing the app's plist string?

No it has nothing to do with Marvin's utility. Parallels just does a CPU check when it installs.

So its still a case of having to edit the plist?

yes, just to install it. You could probably use Pacifist to bypass this check, but it only takes a minute to edit the file anyways.

I like fusion a bit more personally, it seems to boot quicker and such.

you can experience the full potential of fusion only if you have qe/ci
