@MrWilde I would definitely be interested. I just re-installed my windows 8.1 machine and want to use Hyper-V instead of virtualbox. I would greatly appreciate some help to get set up with something like homestead for Hyper-v.

Windows based dev enviroment
I have been working with Windows 8.1, Hyper-V, Vagrant and VVV (WordPress Dev) for a while and over the weekend completed preliminary testing of rework of the same tools to create a Laravel based setup.
Allows a simplistic use of the above environment for hosting multiple laravel projects on a Ubuntu 14.04 server running on Hyper-V. Completely scripted down to creating entries in the host file on the windows machine.
I have a little bit of testing to go but I was wondering how many may benefit from some details on how to set up. I have been documenting some of the work but I would be happy to create some detailed guidelines as well as provide the vagrant box, ready to go for hyper-v.
I know there are others out there, like me, who also like to build custom PC's and don't mind the windows environment. Let me know if your interested.

There is something like Laragon, but that's not a real VM. I would be interested! Cool stuff :D

@MrWilde do you have a specific time frame you are looking to sharing the vagrant box?

I currently have my first box available in Vagrant Cloud @ https://atlas.hashicorp.com/wildetech/boxes/hyper-u1404 I am working on completing the new box and updating ASAP, as well as completing a guide outlining the changes required for setup and operation. Its a pet project and completed in my spare time and I don't have as much of that as I would like.

@MrWilde Thanks you for sharing. I completely understand about not having spare time. I am in the same boat. I would be happy to help contribute once I understand a little more about your process. Just let me know.

@MrWilde I have tried to set this hyper-v environment up but with no luck. I will probably have to switch to virtualbox for the time being unfortunately. I will be looking forward to your documentation on how to set up your box with hyper-v, when you find the time of course.
