"Anyone who has installed Linux on Virtual PC/Virtual Server knows that while yes, Linux is supported on these platforms, and yes, it does run well after getting it setup - installation can be a downright pain. It is for this reason that I take great pride in the fact that installing Linux on the Hyper-V beta release is a breeze."

I imagine that it has been discussed to death on their mailing lists. But I have not been party to it. So please forgive me for observing that the change from "Fedora Core" to "Fedora" is a bad one. Used to be, if you had a problem during an install, you could google with some key words plus fc6, fc5, fc4, or whatever, and find an answer. Now, if you have a problem installing Fedora 7 or 8, you can Google for F7 or F8 and find out all the wonderful things that those function keys can do for you in various Windows applications that you don't use or care about. fc6 was distinctive. F8 is not.
That should put an end to new users being ridiculed on the Fedora mailing lists for not having Googled before asking their questions. It won't, of course. But it should.

Don't you really mean the Red Hat, Inc., Fedora 8 distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system?
Yes, that one.
BTW, aren't you the guy of the "Microsoft-Windows-Vista-Home-Premium" post at this URL?

Well, of course everybody seems to be very picky about its own OS name, so, don't bother other people for doing the same things you do.

Since Fedora 7, it is called only Fedora, not Fedora Core!
