HyperV and VirtualBox (or VMWare) cannot co-exist on the same machine.

So basically, if you want to do windows development you have to give up the alternatives

What? You can run Windows guests on Virtualbox.

VirtualBox still runs fine on a Windows machine with HyperV active. (I have a mixture of VMs in both and while I try not to run them side-by-side I don't have problems with either running.)

Maybe this has been fixed with AU, but previously you had to practially dual-boot windows to use both: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SwitchEasilyBetweenVirtualBoxA...

I'm currently running Windows 8.1. I've got an ancient XP VM in VirtualBox I need to run sometimes and also use the Hyper-V-based VS Android and Windows mobile emulators and don't have obvious issues running one or the other. I haven't done anything other than installs to get things running.
