Win8 Pro ships with HyperV which is nice. Please be aware that if you are buying a PC explicitly run virtual machines you should make sure the CPU/Motherboard/BIOS fully support the technologies required. For Intel you are looking at VT as a minimum or your VM will run like a 386 (I'm not kidding). VT-d is nice too as it provides PCI passthrough (accelerated gfx, etc). Not sure about the AMD equivalents. If I was to re-build my main PC again I would probably use Linux KVM as a base OS.
