Hi,
Was planning to have a stab at running / using plan9 and am struggling to find compatible hardware (I want to use a laptop). Anyway, I have a win8.1 pro laptop and though about using Hyper-V as the VM for running plan9. I was just wondering if I was being an idiot for even attempting it (the Hyper-V bit, not the plan9 bit!) ?
Any advice welcome.
I'm a seasoned (old?) C programming of over 25years, so if I can get it all up and running then I'm sure I can contribute too. I've also got a RPi so will probably also install onto that as well.

To the best of my ability, I could never get it running on either Win 8.1 or WinServer 2012r2's Hyper-V, regardless of Gen1 or Gen2. Microsoft made changes to the platform, because it was possible back in the Win 7 era.

I agree that Microsoft made a load of changes in Hyper-V, it was just that qemu is a bit of an unknown. Anyway, have now got qemu running nicely on me Win8 machine and am in the process of installing Plan9 onto it :-)
