Microsoft has stated many times they are "Cloud First" and hyperv development seems to be focused on Azure HyperV with limited features and improvements coming to OnPrem Hyperv, Hyperv for OnPrem still has ALOT of features missing even when comparied to linux based hypervisors let alone VMWare. It is also unclear what the long term path is for OnPrem Windows Server, many people believe in the next 5 years it will be replaced with some Variant of "Azure Stack" and will be billed on a subscription basis from hardware vendors, to Microsoft. The future is clear. Everything as a Service is coming for OnPrem, your network, storage, and hosts will all be some subscription model just like "cloud"
