I need to run a Windows VM and I'm trying to decide between 7/8(.1).
The VM would run on very limited netbook/tablet systems, so I'm worry about both performance and storage capacity. Is there any significant difference between Win7/8 in terms of idle load and space required for minimum install? Does 7 or 8 have any compulsory background process that could keep the host CPU from going into sleep frequently?
In case it matters, the host OS could be Windows 8.1 or Linux. I'm interested in...
