MBP + Boot camp

[TheSiege]

I just got a MBP, retina I think, from work. I am a windows guy. I was thinking of just getting rid of my surface pro 2 and installing windows 10 on my mac with OSX. I would probably use this dock at home

Is there any reason I shouldnt do this? I am guessing my MBP would out perform my surface anyway...

Apple dumps crappy drivers on you and you'll get worse battery life with Windows than OSX. Plus the trackpad won't work quite as well, among other issues. Not to mention the keyboard differences.

Best bet is stick with OSX and suffer through the inferior interface. RDP into a windows machine or run Parallells if you absolutely need a Windows app. There's no harm in setting up a Boot Camp install to check it out but as much as I've tried to use my Macs as Windows machines in nice clothing, they just never quite hit the mark.

I would advise going against using Bootcamp unless you have some ill desire to attempt to run PC games on a Macbook (which I advise you not). Just run Windows 10 in VM using Parallels or Fusion. In a VM, Windows 10 flies. It's actually much faster than on a physical hardware, I don't know why. With Parallels 11 on my MBP 15, I'm in a usable desktop state in 3 seconds - not sh#tting you. That's with hibernation disabled mind you, so a full boot up. Everything works great for things that I need. Save gaming (assuming that you do) for the Windows machines.
