https://github.com/intel/haxm looks cool, thanks! Windows Home support saves a few bucks.


I wonder if there's actually any reason to use HAXM these days, since WHP ships with windows and works for both Intel and AMD CPUs?


Enabling Hyper-V on Windows currently causes problems with VirtualBox, so that’s one reason. They’re (vbox) working on fixing it, but it hasn’t landed yet.


Enabling Windows Hypervisor Platform doesn't require enabling Hyper-V. Hyper-V doesn't even exist on Windows Home, but WHP does. That said, I have no idea whether WHP interferes with VirtualBox.
