Should CPU Virtualization Be ON or OFF? Is It A Security Risk? (And Just What Is Hyper-V?!)

"CPU Virtualization" is one of those cool-sounding technologies that you just have to enable. Y'know, not because it sounds cool - but because, uhm, you're about to run an application that really needs it. That's totally why.

But is it potentially a bad thing to enable CPU Virtualization? After all, some people warn that it can have security implications.

Some motherboard manufacturers ship their BIOSes with virtualization disabled, thinking that most users won't need it. But there certainly are some good uses of virtualization, as I cover in this video.
