Windows on a high DPI display is a nightmare. Most apps don't scale so the buttons are a 4 millimeter wide and the text is tiny. Worse, since there is that much more pixel to push, OpenGL performance is slow. Huge slow viewport, small UI - what's not to like! It's not a serious windows setup unless you hook it up to an external, non retina display, and a windows keyboard to have the ctrl/alt keys in the right place and a delete key. the power management issues are real. The macbook pro will run hot under windows and it will shorten its life. Other problem. Normally with the macbook pro you'll end up using thunderbolt, that's what's used with an external display for example. Well unlike OSX, thunderbolt is not hot-swappable on windows, so you'll need to reboot to connect the internet adapter. You get frustrating stuff like putting the macbook to sleep and sometimes the monitor is not detected, or everythign getting really confused when you switch between OS. I'm thinking it's better to buy a cheap PC than to bother with this. You have to buy a copy of windows anyway.
