Hyper-V, Microsoft,

Can I use Hyper-V to negotiate with VMware?

Short Answer

It depends on the results of a financial analysis and if your employees have the skillsets to make Hyper-V viable for at least part of your environment (e.g. non-production).

In-Depth Answer

Maybe. Stating that you have Microsoft licensing or threatening a move without having the underlying analysis won’t move the needle. On the other hand, performing a financial analysis and building peoples’ skillsets may make Hyper-V viable enough, at least for part of your environment like non-production.
