"Hyper-V is undeniably a critical component of the Microsoft virtualization stack runs on it, but it's also used in Virtualization-Based Security, Windows Containers, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Windows Subsystem for Android, and even the Xbox."

weird sentence

I just realized what you saw, I originally meant to say "Hyper-V is undeniably a critical component of the Microsoft virtualization stack as Azure runs on it", I've got it fixed and also removed the Windows Subsystem for Android mention since Microsoft killed it
Weird, right? That's exactly the argument repeated ad nauseam by Microsoft as "proof" that Hyper-V isn't dead, somehow excluding the lack of a good desktop GUI for Hyper-V VMs from why users would feel differently
Oh and the funny thing is that since writing this blog post Microsoft killed Windows Subsystem for Android despite its immense value as a developer tool
