I have the high end Retina Macbook Pro for a month now, this weekend I'm going to attend a WP7/8 app development workshop which I think most probably going to use Windows. And I don't have Windows in my machine yet obviously.

Which method is the best for me to just simply use it for app developing? VMware Fusion 5? the old classic Bootcamp? or Parallel?

I'm a first timer in term of app developing so I don't know which is the best for me. :confused:

bootcamp is the best method for getting full power out of your MBP while in windows but if you must have OSX running also then obviously you need either Fusion or Parrells which are so close to the same its personal preference
 
Get Fusion 5. Your machine is more than capable to run that without having to worry about Bootcamp.
