I used virtual box for years and although it need some tweaks to run fast, it run stable but I wanted to ask if Hyper-V can give more advatages ? does Hyper-V has problems with games or will it slow down windows ? I use the virtual machines for testing and development web and windows apps.I used Virtualbox for years and it worked great for me. For legacy OSes with hardware emulation (sound/3D acceleration) Type 2 would be the better choice. If I was running any server-class platform Type 1 would be the preferred method.

A disadvantage is that they can require more tweaking to keep them running well, particularly after an upgrade to the 3rd party VM software.Thanks for the detailed comparison. These have the advantage of being able to give the VM direct access to the Host's hardware, such as the sound card.

In Hyper-V all hardware is virtual, and sound is only available if Enhanced Mode is used and the Guest OS is Windows Pro, and even then it can stutter a little. This makes it ideal for running VMs that you intend to be mainly accessed remotely. In fact you can set a Hyper-V VM to start up at boot without anyone needing to sign in to the Host at all. Hyper-V is a Type 1 Hypervisor, the advantages of which include that it runs as System and allows a VM to continue running whether you are signed in or not. Hyper-V and VirtualBox are quite different in operation and are intended for different purposes.
