How do you think Hyper-V compares to something like VirtualBox? I've used
Hyper-V at work, and it seems decent, but I'm a bit surprised to hear that
Microsoft has included something in Windows 8 that allows people to run a
competing operating system in a virtual machine. I remember when Microsoft
bought Virtual PC from Connectix; from what I remember, Microsoft changed
Virtual PC to only be able to run other versions of Windows (rather than any
OS).
