Not much of a comfort, but I feel your pain. I had the very same hopes about a year ago but ended up re-partition the hard drive and installed bootcamp and then parallels as well. This enables you to run Softimage in OSX/Parallels if just need to “check” something or switch to bootcamp if you plan on actually working.

Please note that Windows will not have direct access to your graphic card, but will rely on Parallels graphic drivers. This may or may not be a problem for you. I’ve experienced a fair share of glitches and problems with the viewport interaction in Softimage, so if you plan on “actually working” in Softimage I’d recommend biting the bullet and run bootcamp.
