Where Hyper-V is installed via Server Manager in Server, it's installed via Windows Features on client, which makes sense. There's a lot of unnecessary technical information about what Hyper-V is in this post, which I'll ignore, but here's the pertinent new bits about how Microsoft intends to enable this technology for customers: This has stunning ramifications to the future of backwards compatibility in Windows, as I've written about often in the past, since it means Microsoft can now more aggressively remove dated, legacy technologies from the core Windows product. In yet another post on the Building Windows 8 Blog, Microsoft principal program manager Mathew John explains that Windows 8 will indeed include the Hyper-V virtualization platform. The question remained, however: What, exactly, are Microsoft's plans for integrating Hyper-V into Windows 8 on the PC client?

So we've turned our attention to Windows 8, and when Rafael Rivera and I examined early pre-release versions of this upcoming product, we did indeed see proof that some Hyper-V code was in there.
In Windows 7, of course, that didn't happen: Instead, Microsoft's corporate customers must make do with expensive and complex server-side solutions like App-V and MED-V, while end users can utilize the free Windows Virtual PC with XP Mode. For years, we've wondered when Microsoft would bring its Server-based Hyper-V virtualization platform to the Windows client.
