Another step to vanish 3rd party software
This was a rumor that was now confirmed officially through Windows 8 Blog.
Microsoft plans to giveaway Hyper-V with Windows 8 since launch, which will allow users to create virtual machines on their desktops with the need to install 3rd party software like VMware Workstation.
Although this is not yet cleared out, it’s expected that Hyper-V will be available only on specific versions of the OS like Professional and Ultimate versions and we as expected only for x64 versions.
The VM Console will be able to support a single monitor view with 1600x1200 resolution in 32bit color. The new Hyper-V in Windows 8 will also support the creation of virtual machines directly from an ISO File.
Together with this announcement, Microsoft also released a video demonstration:
