Comes with Hyper-V

You get Microsoft’s Hyper-V hypervisor in Professional/Enterprise editions of Windows 8 that's the same version shipped with Windows Server 2012. It replaces Windows Vista/Windows 7 Virtual PC to serve as a bare metal-type hypervisor. Ostensibly, it's used to run a prior version that you upgraded from, like Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7.
