Is there any difference of which OS to choose if dedicating an Azure VM machine to be a NCrunch grid node server? I.e. Windows 8.1 versus windows server 2012.

Thanks.

The answer to this depends very much on the nature of the tests you need to execute, and the applications you are developing.

NCrunch itself can run on either O/S without any real difference.

If you are developing desktop applications, I would definitely recommend Windows 8.1, as this would mean testing your applications in an environment more closely aligned with your users.

If you are developing server-side applications (i.e. ASP.NET), Windows Server 2012 is probably the best way to go.
