    Confirmed: Windows 8 to include Hyper-V

    The way I see it is the replacement for Virtual PC which has serious limitiations. With VMware jacking up theur licensing costs and the features offered in Hyper-V 3 I think it should be given serious consideration by a lot of people due to its cost advantages.

    What's the worst disk latency you've ever seen?

    lopoetve: need your help sir!

    OS doesn't matter, VMware says ..., not so fast!

    What's funny is what is the percent of the OSes being virtualized on VMware's hypervisors ? Microsoft's server licensing model for virtual servers makes their OS and managment products very cheap for medium to large organizations.

    VCP 410 is no joke.

    I contected them because I passed it in OCT and still haven't received any confirmation or my cert. This is pretty lame. How long does it take to print some certs up.

    More than 1vCPU? For what application, and why not keep it physical?

    If anyone has any question why 1 vCPU VM's should be your default here it is. Users were reporting slow printing at one of our smaller sites. The print srever has about 80 print queues and was configured with 2 vCPU's and 2GB ram. The server admin decided since task manager shows 100% cpu just...
