People may disagree about Windows 8's new surface, pun intended, but there's little arguing that many great things have happened under the hood. Client Hyper-V is for end-users on the desktop who want to make virtualization work for them directly. Microsoft picked this name to distinguish Windows 8's implementation of Hyper-V from the full-blown Windows Server incarnation, which is aimed at the server market and designed for more upscale, industrial-strength virtualization scenarios. The exact technical name for Hyper-V in Windows 8 is Client Hyper-V. But it's one of the hidden pearls inside the Windows 8 oyster.
Oddly, most people don't seem to know Hyper-V even exists in Windows 8, let alone what it's good for. Buried under all of the clamor and kvetching about Windows 8's most obvious features - Metro! Metro apps! - is a new addition that hasn't made a lot of headlines: Windows 8's new Hyper-V-powered virtualization functionality.
