Oh, not true! Apple has bundled third party software with in the  
MacOS on-disk bundle for many, many years. Examples include Quicken,  
fax software, education software such as encyclopedia information and  
lots other useful things. It would not at all be unusual for Apple to  
cut a deal with the makers of either Parallel or the new Wine-based  
software to bundle these tools. I also would not at all be surprised  
to see Apple create their own version of Wine (or similar) for the Mac.
