I just saw a MacPro running WindowsXP this morning on the train. If that
works .. anything will work :)
As long as you can live with the keyboard and with heaps of missing keys
the rest should be ok ...

I run Windows on my Mac Mini, so not a MBP per se
But basically Apple just package up some drivers (most of the hardware in the
machine is standard Intel stuff). I think main complaint is that the power
management isn't as good as on the MacOSX side of things.

Do you mean Mac Book Pro or Mac Pro - that heniously expensive cylinder
they're releasing?
Apple have a thing called BootCamp that dual boots into Windows, loads all
the right drivers and so on.

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard some time back that some developers had
bought MacBook Pro for its hardware, removed the Apple OS and installed Windows
7. Apocryphal?

I don’t think there’s any need to muck around with anything. Just find your Mac

and there’s links to the relevant Boot Camp driver package for your Mac

I had a Mac book pro some years back. 17 top of the line. $4300 worth (and
the specs were not fantastic but the best one I could get...)
I set it up to dual boot but I rarely booted into Mac OS. Was using
VMWare's Fusion to run windows as a VM when I did boot it as a Mac.

If you run parallels that is. If you run it native ie via boot camp again
it runs normal as you would with a PC laptop

Not unfair to expect at all. My laptop (Samsung Book 9 Plus) has 13 QHD
(3200x1800) screen and a good number of the apps are all kinds of messed up
due to not handling scaling right. If you don't scale its too tiny to see
(seriously small fonts on 13 screen - lucky I got glasses!) or you scale
QHD type displays are a pretty new phenomenon in the PC laptop world. I don't
think it's necessarily fair to expect apps that might be 2-3 years old to cater
for today's hardware/software.

Do you primarily run parallels?
What application do you run?
VS2013?
Any performance issues?

Use Parallels, not Bootcamp - the latter is a dualboot the former something
like VMware. Unlike VMware, though, the application windows float in the
Mac desktop, not bound to a VMware window inside the host desktop. Once
you've done this, you'll wonder why you'd do it any other way. Loading W7
