I've never used VirtualBox, so I guess I can't give it a fair comparison.

Yup, Linux is supported as a guest OS in Hyper-V (though I haven't tried it yet
myself):

I've run Windows 7 (32-bit), Windows XP (32-bit), and tried (and failed) to run
Windows 2000 as guest OSes in Windows 8.1 Hyper-V. In fact, bbs.synchro.net
still runs on Win7-32 (for 16-bit doors on Vertrauen).
