Hyper-V doesn't support modern resolutions (not even 1080p). I've been using Virtualbox, which has its own issues (the client machines can't always see the virtual monitor's resolution), but has been adequate.
- jstclair 14y agoFor a Hyper-V Windows client, you should be using Remote Desktop. The Hyper-V desktop client is really designed for simple installtion & management. For other OSs, I'd imagine installing a native client (ssh/X) on the host would be a better experience.
- randallsquared 14y agoI haven't tried it, but I would be very surprised if playing 1080p video over ssh/X was watchable. My initial plan was just to use Windows 8 for games and do all my other computing inside an Ubuntu VM, but the Windows 8 environment (other than for command line stuff) is really growing on me. Currently I only use the VM for banking and shopping, which I'm still (perhaps unjustly) afraid to use a Windows machine for.
