Not gonna lie, Hyper-V is anything but easy to work with, at least initially. 
It was in response to this thread that I realized that I don't even remember 
and never documented how I made that network stack work, which I find 
concerning. The only thing I do remember is that it could be done in 
Powershell.

If I had to choose between Hyper-V, Virtualbox and VMware, I would say that 
Virtualbox and VMware are easier to work with, while Hyper-V gives better OS 
integration at the cost of complexity. Against something like QEMU meanwhile, 
they all create vendor lock-in. But QEMU on Windows comes with less than 
stellar performance, and there is something to be said about qcow2 being just 
as locked in of a storage format as the rest.

Whichever option you choose in the end, I wish you good luck :)

Best regards,
Michael
