I have both, and regularly answer questions here in the Word forum. My laptop with 365 just died and I would like to be able to access both on one machine, even if I have to switch users.

I know that I can't have both on the same computer with the same user.

    I have Windows Pro.

    I also have an MSDN subscription, which I may need to figure out, I guess.

    Which gives superior results?

    Since you have msdn, I'd go with hyper-v. It think it uses less resources than the others. I often have 5 or 6 running in the background (I have 64GB ram). It's easy to use Remote Desktop to access the VMs or you can access them through the hyper-v app.
