Nope. Hyper-V only works on pro and higher versions of Windows. VMWare is not free. I can run VirtualBox on demand (as a portable app) and that simplifies things immensely. VirtualBox can also work with all different kinds of virtual hard disks, can archive and import archives from different versions without any problem and that make it a versatile and useful tool. There are also tons of information about VirtualBox from the community.
