I really feel for those that will be fooled by Microsoft's woefully inadequate virtualization product billed as "Free". In my environment, we have to have a mature and lean V-platform that supports both MS and Linux flavors with the full suite of benefits provided, regardless of OS. ESX 3.5 and 4 is now leaps and bounds ahead of where Softzilla is and I see no credible evidence of that gap closing. Great info!

Which is huge shown-stopper for many companies. I guess MS will not work hard to make Linux guest to shine on Hyper-V. Don't need to mention the reasons :-D To not mention Linux guests supports only 1 vCPU. Which is huge shown-stopper for many companies.

For now, it's good to do a homelab with Hyper-V, do some testing, but the system itself it seems to be more "heavy" then VMware. The density of VM's is not great either... I'm slowly discovering ESX 4 and I can clearly see that vSphere 4 is more "light" than ESX 3.... and much more "mature" than Hyper-V...

Great read Eric,

In Windows Server 2008 R2 we will be making changes to how clustered virtual machines are managed, so that at least the third option will work. Unfortunately the first two approaches will continue to fail in the manner you have outlined (for now). Cheers, Ben Hi Eric,
