I wish to setup a development windows VM on my Retina Macbook Pro(mpb). This is for the purpose of learning how to develop with Visual Studio 2013.
The question is, in terms of performance or optimisation, which OS plays better when vritualized? Win 7 or Windows 8.1. Is windows 8.1 more optimised to be run as a VM?
I couldnt find anything on google in regards to this, nor could I find any questions here.
I plan on using either VM Ware fusion 6, or Parallels 9. Depending on the feedback I get here.

If there is no concrete evidence for either case, what were your reasons for choosing one or the other, and what is your perception of the positives or negatives of that choice.
