Microsoft has responded to a recent challenge from Sun to answer some serious questions about Hyper-V â" in particular, how Hyper-V can compete with Xen-based alternatives, and whether a Windows-only virtualization technology can hack it in today's increasingly heterogeneous datacenters.

It's likely that shops with both windows and linux will use vmware if they need it's features, or xen because it's free. 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.

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.
