We had a mini discussion last night on chat. There was debate about which is best.
So,
– Which is best for dev and test ?
– Which is best for production ?
– Which is cheapest ?
– Is virtual box any good ?
I use hyper-v on Windows 8 with 32 GB. Got 3 versions of SharePoint running most of the time and its awesome. I still remember the horror days of Virtual Pc. Microsoft have come a long way.
Seb I was with you on using server as an operating system, did it myself for many years. However, when MS fully supported Hyper-V on Win 8, that changed it all for me. It absolutely rocks and the performance I get is very acceptable.
