Yes, they have a real dilemma on their hands. Of course, the follow-on news about why they really opened the source is an even better story.

Eric, isn’t it obvious that MS does not wants to make Linux hosts to shine on top of Hyper-V ?

I don’t think they cannot do it, deep inside, they do not want to do it, but are obliged to do at some extents.

The following are also not supported in the new LinuxICs:

- Jumbo Frames and TCP Offload
- Hot Add/Remove (VHD’s and Passthrough Disks)
