It's a MS product. They will keep at it till they wear everyone down and take over ;) Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:29:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (helf) Comments Comment by MrEs http://osnews.com/thread?321109 http://osnews.com/thread?321109 I don't think heterogeneous-ity comes into it really...

At my current work place we wouldn't use anything other then a MS products as we're a Gold Partners; So we'll be using HyperV without doubt.

My last work place was a Debian shop so we were using Xen...

I really think it's as simple as that, 'Microsoft shops' will use HyperV, where as 'Linux shops' will use Xen... Much like the OSes the both have their advantages and there will be lots of HyperV bashing as it's from Microsoft. Xen was amazing to use both had a very steep learning curve :\ Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:09:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (MrEs) Comments Comment by bproven2 http://osnews.com/thread?321114 http://osnews.com/thread?321114 While others looking for an enterprise ready product will use vmware. ;) Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:40:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bproven2) Comments RE: Comment by MrEs http://osnews.com/thread?321136 http://osnews.com/thread?321136

OK, but what about heterogeneous shops that use both Windows and Linux, and maybe even BSD and Solaris? These are the shops being addressed in the question, not shops that are commited to a single platform.

I don't really see a place for Hyper-V anywhere that's not totally locked in to microsoft... It's not tried and tested like the other products, it has a large footprint and will cost more than xen.
Not even sure if it offers much above vmware's free products either.

The only places that will use it, are those who are locked to 100% microsoft and cant/wont touch anything else. Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:41:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bert64) Comments RE: Comment by MrEs http://osnews.com/thread?321194 http://osnews.com/thread?321194

Except for those shops that are mixed, which are many, Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:37:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Soulbender) Comments RE[3]: Comment by MrEs http://osnews.com/thread?321214 http://osnews.com/thread?321214 I have not tested it but it has a larger footprint? Oy. More myths to debunk. I run it on Server 2008 Core config and it has hardly any footprint.

They'll use vmware Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (BluenoseJake) Comments Jesus H. Christ http://osnews.com/thread?321350 http://osnews.com/thread?321350 That MS guy in the interview says they only support SLES. One single distro.

As far as I remember, all Linux distros use more or less the same kernel. Why would Microsoft have to enter talks, with e.g. Red Hat as claimed in the article, to "get it supported"?

That's what's wrong with them. They don't even try. Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:19:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Weeman) Comments
