My apologies Olivier, I should have mentioned the tiny text IF you run Windows at full retina rez or don't set the text display size correctly. Also should have mentioned the settings that I'm ok with, as Jason wrote, is to just run at 1920x1200 or 1680x1050 in boot camp, or parallels full screen 1680x1050 or 1920x1200, or parallels windowed with OSX display set to 'Larger Text" which scales up everything on the mac including the windowed parallels view with Softimage in it, or just work Best for retina on Mac for full rez and a slightly small Softimage in a Parallels window.
None of these options are blurry to me, just slightly softer than full retina. I do not have any of the monitor switching or other issues mentioned. It's the best option, as the only reason I have Windows is for Softimage, and when I'm done with the only reason I use Win/Soft, for ICE of course, then I'll move to Mac only. So with my setup, yes, I find it works very well. Going back n forth between soft on Windows and Nuke on Mac is seamless.
