One reason you might want to turn it off anyways is if you are using an SSD drive. Even though they are getting bigger these days they still fill up pretty fast! I always end up running low on space pretty fast anyways.

"S1023" error when you install the DirectX SDK (June 2010)
If you need to install the DirectX SDK and it fails this is most likely why:
"S1023" error when you install the DirectX SDK (June 2010)
Even though I'm using Visual Studio 2012 now, which comes with DirectX SDK built-in and thus supposedly I don't need the DirectX SDK anymore I still did.
This was for some C++ AMP implementation of n-body gravity computation.
And of course on Windows 8 you are going to have newer versions of Visual C++ 2010 Redistributables which conflict!

Question: can Hyper-V and VirtualBox coexist on the same machine?
Question: can Hyper-V and VirtualBox coexist on the same machine i.e. be installed at same time?
NO.
But it seems there is a registry hack in Windows that will let you do it anyways.
This is basically due to the fact that Hyper-V is a Type 1 hypervisor and VirtualBox is a Type 2 hypervisor.
