I wanted to get a view of the communities opinions on questions that focus on the client Hyper-V feature in Windows 8 and if questions around it belong here or on places like SuperUser.

My own point of view is that questions that have issues with a Windows 8 host running Hyper-V would more closely resemble a Windows 8 host running VMWare Workstation/player (which normally wouldn't belong here) to that of a question on a Windows 2012 server running the Hyper-V role (which normally belongs here). Yes, I know that the Hyper-V role in Windows 8 is from a technical perspective, very different than VMWare workstation/player, but the concept in usage is fairly similar in that you have a consumer level OS running a virtualization stack to run multiple operating systems on, what will usually be, consumer level hardware.

Anyway, wanted to get thoughts on this before I decided to flag a question such as [this] 11 or this onethis one.
