Now, Revit products will officially be supported by Autodesk for both Apple Bootcamp and the Parallels virtualized machine software.
I have been running Parallels for a while, and it is great to get all the power out of the Mac OS while still being able to work in Revit.
Read the Offical Press Release
Here is a bit of it:
“SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK), a leader in 2D and 3D design, engineering and entertainment software, and Parallels, a worldwide leader in virtualization and automation software, announced that they have signed an agreement to make Parallels Desktop for Mac Autodesk's preferred Mac virtualization software.
Autodesk will now support use of AutoCAD software, AutoCAD LT software, Autodesk Inventor Professional software, Autodesk 3ds Max software, Autodesk 3ds Max Design software and the Autodesk Revit software platform for building information modeling (BIM) on Mac OS X via Parallels Desktop. Autodesk added official support for these products on the Mac via Boot Camp earlier this year.”

Out of curiosity, what OS are you running in Parallels (XP, Vista, 7)?
I have found Revit to run best in Windows 7 in Parallels.
