Interesting.

According to VMware Fusion 8 Documentation a Mac OS X Virtual Machine does not 
support 3D Accelerated graphics.

http://pubs.vmware.com/fusion-8/index.jsp#com.vmware.fusion.using.doc/GUID-474FC78E-4E77-42B7-A1C6-12C2F378C5B9.html

I just called VMware technical support and they confirmed that the product does 
not support support 3D Accelerated graphics with a Mac virtual machine.

So what is happening? Perhaps you are seeing the Apple OpenGL Software Renderer 
being utilized by the OpenGL Extensions Viewer application. You can set this 
with a pull down at the top of the window.

I am currently developing a Mac application that uses OpenGL but I could never 
get it to work with Parallels. I was never able to get the application to fall 
back to using the Apple Software Renderer when OpenGL hardware was not present. 
Perhaps I was not doing something correctly.
