He's not responded yet as to how he did it. Hopefully it is something simple and stable.

That's a big improvement. Hopefully we will see whatever they did make it into the production release. Maybe they can optimize QoS as well.

They just responded.

Awesome, good details there.

That's great. I hope that UBNT can utilize this to upgrade the systems.

I've been using Powershell Core for a while now on my Mac and Fedora. I haven't tried it on Windows yet.

It's not great on Windows. I wish it would integrate better like PSv5 does.

Another interesting read: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/03/microsoft-will-soon-start-shipping-the-intel-spectre-microcode-fixes/.
Interesting line that may cause a ton of headaches for the less informed: "Microsoft is also warning, again, that all Windows updates now require the use of a compatible, up-to-date anti-virus program. ...Systems without a compatible anti-virus application won't have the registry key, and, hence, those won't receive any further Windows Updates."

For Linux users, what’s the point in using it instead of KVM?

There are cases, but they are rare. For one there is different compatibility - there are things that run on VirtualBox that won't on KVM (and vice versa.) Or in cases where you can't run KVM libraries.

If you're building a VM that is going to run on another OS. At a prior job we leaned heavily on VirtualBox because we had Windows, Linux, and macOS hosts.

Vagrant. Not sure how that works with KVM, but it is well integrated with VBox.
