No, they aren't! If you buy either Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion 
you're legalized to buy an OEM version of a given Microsoft windows version!

Also some stores/resellers are legalized to sell OEM Windows systems, 
when they at the same time sell a piece of hardware that can be used 
with the computer to which the system is intended.

Selling Windows versions - i.e. fx. to a standard self-built PC isnot legal!

When I bought my Parallels Desktop 4.x I bought it along with a OEM ver. 
of Microsoft Windows XPPro SP2/DK - and that at a Mac reseller store here.

Cheers, Erik Richard
