Hyper-v and linux doesn't go very well. I tested several linux distros.
Some crashes every few hours (ubuntu, opensuse). CentOS seems to behave well, but limited to 1 CPU if I remember correctly.
You'll also have the legacy NIC problem. I don't think anyone has compiled the Hyper-V Linux Integration components on endian, so your performance can be less than expected.

Unfortunately VMware is far beyond Microsoft on linux virtualization.  Consider VMWare ESXi or VMWare Server, or better, a physical one.

That is not true.
1. Officially microsoft supports only Suse... Unofficially virtually every distro runs well; every (!) version has as many vCPUs as you assigned to it. (Need a screenshot?)
2. You dont have to use legacy NIC in some distros, synthetic devices have hv* modules installed at minimum in ubuntu and vayatta (heh) firewall...
3. the "less than expected performance" comment - well as with everything else, it depends how you configure the environment. Legacy NICs I do have to agree with you -- horror.. but for the synthetic I max out my 100 megabit line with very little cpu utilization; Encryption is something else but then again, I'm running it inside hyperv with athlon II 240 cpu / 8gb of ram..
