There is still time to pick up the excellent MacUpdate Promo's Parallels Bundle for Mac OS X for only US$64.99 (less than 42 EUR, thanks to the dollar's wretched state), complete with the MSRP $79 Parallels virtual machine for when you need to kick open Windows XP. Although I'd rather just boot up and enjoy the full RAM for playing a game now and then, Parallels offers decent performance for those times when I'd rather run Visio in the native OS rather than through Codeweavers Crossover Office.
Nice grab for Mac users.

I bought the last MacUpdate Promo bundle (a steal) which came with a license for Realmac Software's RapidWeaver. I didn't think much about it: I got the bundle for XMIND and the aquarium screen saver. I've now started using RapidWeaver for a couple of projects. While it won't displace Dreamweaver any time soon, at that price point I don't know anything that can do things as well.
I used to use NetObjects Fusion when I was Windows-based. I like the simplicity and the ability to quickly generate an entire site. Back in the day, I had consumed Clement Mok's book on online design (he helped create the initial look of The Microsoft Network, including the now ubiquitous MSN monicker) so NetObjects, an application he helped create, seemed to be a good fit.
You may have even used NetObjects without knowing it: the current owners have created a way for users to create basic hosted websites through an online interface that is hosted by their internet provider. For example, one of my vendors, 1&1, provides it. They also give away a copy of NetObjects to new customers. Which makes me wonder if they are the current owners.
