    I've update parallels desktop 8 last version and installed new windows 7 VM.
    After I've downloaded and installed windows 8 pro.
    All works but there are a problem with video resolution.
    max resolution on my iMac 27 is 1920x1200 (in windows 7 2560x1440) and aspect ratio is 4:3 not 16:9
    I think problem is caused to video driver. In windows 8 there is Base Microsoft Video driver but in windows 7 there is Parallels Display Adapter.

    Strange thing because previous I've installed windows 8 preview versione and video resolution was great.

    Any solution?

    PS: same problem on my macbook air..

    You just need to install Parallels Tools in Windows 8.
