As such, there are hardly any limitations on what it can do. There simply is not anything better at this time. text/html 2008-05-02T03:05:40-05:00 McFly http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71398/?l=1#534990 <div class="quote"><b>FordGT90Concept</b> <i>May 01, 2008, 07:13pm PDT</i><br /> Apparently, Hyper-V is capable of virtualizing even Linux.</div><br /> Hmm, I didn't know that, and that is a good thing, but what I meant is that it will only run on a Windows (Server 2008 afaik) host. Still, I'm sure a lot of customers who utilize Windows for their server needs will be happy about that integration. text/html 2008-05-02T02:32:34-05:00 Gerritt http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71398/?l=1#534987 I used to be a huge fan of the SuSe distro, but weren't they bought out by Novell? And as such the Enterprise versions come at a hefty price tag? Is this a case of back scratching between Novell and MS?<br /> <br /> Gerritt text/html 2008-05-02T02:13:06-05:00 FordGT90Concept http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71398/?l=1#534983 McFly said: <div class="quote">Eh, Hyper-V.

Will Microsoft continue to support Linux operating systems with Hyper-V?<br /> A. Yes, Microsoft will provide integration components and technical support for customers running select Linux distributions as guest operating systems within Hyper-V. Beta Linux integration components are now available for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 x86 and x64 Editions. These integration components enable Xen-enabled Linux to take advantage of the VSP/VSC architecture and provide improved performance. Beta Linux Integration components are available for immediate download through <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://connect.microsoft.com." target="_blank">http://connect.microsoft.com.</a></div> text/html 2008-05-02T01:16:04-05:00 john albrich http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71398/?l=1#534980 Mothow said: <div class="quote">I freaking hate it but im sticking with it so i can get used to it finnally</div><br /> <br /> C'mon Mothow!

The way it is implemented is simply marvelous. It puts VMWare to shame. Ultimately I concluded that I would not need Hyper-V enough to wait for it over Server 2003 x64 Edition. text/html 2008-05-01T04:14:19-05:00 john albrich http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71398/?l=1#534927 Meats of Evil said: <div class="quote">I haven't upgraded yet, it doesn't convince me as a worthy upgrade.

Plus, I'm not a gamer so the DX10 really isn't even an issue for me.<br /> <br /> I see some implementation similarity between Vista and Blu-Ray. By the time each is mainstreamed, a better and cheaper (compared to today's bucks) alternative will be available. text/html 2008-05-01T04:03:14-05:00 Gerritt http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71398/?l=1#534924 You know the only real rational for getting 2008 server is to support Vista....<br /> Seems like a bad feedback loop to me.<br /> <br /> Gerritt text/html 2008-05-01T03:42:22-05:00 FordGT90Concept http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71398/?l=1#534922 &quot;how long has vista been out&quot;<br /> Retail release date: January 30, 2007 so...just over a year.<br /> <br /> I haven't used it yet so no comment. I almost got Server 2008 but I couldn't wait any longer for all the drivers I need.
