Hi folks
Some might be interested in this -- could be a winner for Ms if they can eat into VMware's market.
Microsoft to make Ubuntu a first-class guest under Hyper-V • The RegisterMicrosoft's revealed a plan to make Ubuntu 18.04 a "first-class" guest under Hyper-V.
Microsoft's definition of first-class may sound a bit ho-hum for users of other desktop hypervisors, as it includes window resizing, a clipboard that goes from host to guest and back again, something Microsoft's called a "Better mouse experience", Drive redirection and the Enhanced Session Mode that allows a guest to access host hardware. The Register's virtualization desk has enjoyed such features for quite some time in VirtualBox and VMware's desktop hypervisors.
