We're engineers and architects and can see through the typical MS BS. Hyper-V will never go into our datacenter PERIOD. We just had a wave of worms infect a few of our VM guests. I can't imaging if the worm took down a Hyper-V farm. If someone lost their job due to the stupidity of using Microsoft Hyper-V, they certainly deserved it. Hey guys, consider your audience.

Don't stop there.... I think virtualdeath is still available. I like how MS picked virtualization for their twitter handle. Don’t stop there…. I think virtualdeath is still available.

They are more likely to be a good marketing company rather than a good software company :) good post and HyperV is no where near enterprise yet.

While you might think Microsoft.com wouldn't be a great virtualisation candidate, it is at least partly running on the Hyper-V platform: http://blogs.technet.com/windowsserver/archive/2008/06/25/microsoft-com-powered-by-hyper-v.aspx What's interesting is that in this case it isn't about consolidation in this case (the ratio is really low - you & I both agree that it's about workload, not ratio), it's about time to deployment. On physical it takes 12 hours to sync the web content, on virtual you can preprovision it and cut the time down to 4 hours. And MSDN & Technet websites are fully running on Hyper-V (haven't seen any details what the back end looks like for that though). Cheers Stu Fox vStu,
