Hyper-V now has VMs with batteries

nice if you use hyperv instead of virtual box. useless on servers.
nothing wrong, just a question: which is the expected audience of hyper-v?! -

nothing wrong, just a question: which is the expected audience of hyper-v?!Just as with KVM, it’s available in the base OS so people use it on their desk tops for their virtualization instead of a type 2 virtualization system.
This has nothing to do with the target market and everything to do with it being a good feature for the users specified in the article.

This is the reasoning for exposing a battery within a VM.

While this is useful (windows 10 hyper-v users) it almost seems like a silly approach thing to have to do at all.
I do see the value, but it's protecting people from themselves.

I do full screen VM work on my Fedora laptop all the time. So this is definitely something that is useful

Isn't this for Hyper-V only and not the VM's running on KVM or anything else. I assumed (probably shouldn't have) that VM's automatically showed a battery if on a laptop based Hypervisor and that just Hyper-V was missing this functionality to tell the guest what type of host they were running on.

Like so much of what we do today.

Of course it is, but I was illustrating the point.

I agree... very useful. I live on a laptop with VMs on it. Now if the VMs behaved like they were on a laptop, even better. But only the OS does.

nothing wrong, just a question: which is the expected audience of hyper-v?!It's broad. The use case here is developers working from desktops and testing interactions with battery stats.
