Hi All
Seems Ms have scored an Own Goal here.
They want to get people to consider Hyper-V as opposed to VMware but they aren't making it easy.
W8 CP is obviously going to be tested on Zillions of Laptops which most people (not all) but I'm sure most will connect to Internet / Networks via Wireless.
Setting up Hyper-V to use Wireless can be done but again you have to go through hoops and Olympic size rings to get it to work.
When you need to connect a Virtual Machine to the network you need to define and create a "Virtual Switch". (Non Geeks - don't worry it's all done with a Wizard).
When you are using a wireless adapter it doesn't work (You can do it via creating a "legacy adapter" -- see Kari's tutorial on creating an Ubuntu VM on Hyper-V.) Use his method to set up the Wireless adapter to work.
I understand that as Hyper-V was designed as a Server / Enterprise class product the Host machine is likely to have SEVERAL WIRED network adapters - however W8 is being designed also for consumer use Ms need to look at this.
Cheers
