Hi Alec, I use Parallels Desktop 7. The VM itself is Windows Server 2008 R2, though I also tried with Win8 and Win2012 - the slowdown was pretty unacceptable.
The MBP has 8Gb RAM, 2.5GHz Core i7 and a Radeon HD 6770M with 1Gb of RAM (2011 MBP) so I thought it should be ok. I use my Mac for everything... Only develop on Windows if I have to. Maybe VMWare Fusion is a better choice than Parallels.
