 I'd concur with that. We use both at work, I use Xen for the Linux 
stuff, my manager uses Hyper-V for the Windows stuff. Hyper-V has 
the advantage for many that it has a nice GUI and you can randomly 
click options to configure it !
 
Wow! random clicking that make things works! Great!
Who needs a brain :)
 
Yeah, it seems to be how many people configure Windows - bring up a 
random control panel, and randomly stab at tick boxes until it does 
something vaguely like what you want ! I perhaps exaggerate a bit ... 
There is something else to be aware of with Hyper-V - be prepared to 
add superfluous network ports. It might have been just early versions 
from when we started using it at work, but I know they had some 
problems that were only solved by adding separate ports for host and 
guests. 
You know, trivial details like networking stops altogether if you try 
moving a large file - really handy when attempting to move a VM image 
to another host. 
And something to do with networking not working right if you had host 
and guests sharing a port - probably linked with the above. I didn't 
take notes, I recall a certain level of frustration from those 
involved.
