Ask HN: VM Automation for Unit Testing?

We are developing a desktop tool and would like to unit test this in different environments automatically. Are there VM providers which are more or less suitable? I don't want to have only one proprietary solution which is not interchangeable anymore - Hyper-V would be the most obvious choice as we are working on Windows 8, but are there better options?

Thanks!

It should be easy to build something using Vagrant (based on VirtualBox) and Jenkins, see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6941547/how-to-combine-va...

I also support this.
