HYPER-V vs Virtual Server 2005

Message:

I used both VS2005 R2 SP1 and HYPER-V recently. In case of VS2005, host OS
(Win2003 x86) would blue screen sometimes - not sure if it was hardware
problem (I never tried to investigate, because it wasn't production
environment - just used for debugging/testing).
But HYPER-V is big step forward (as opposed to VS2005). Never had any
crashes with it. Once I got it working (which required bios upgrade) - it's
very stable and fast. I'm running netwotk of 5 guests: 3 XP, Win2003 AD DC,
and 1 Win2008x64 Ehchange 2007 server. No problem - speedy enough (but the
host system has 4 cores, 8GB of RAM and 3 physical disks). I also used
VMWARE Workstation recently - in my opinion HYPER-V is faster...and just
cooler.
Great job - Microsoft.

Boris

Yes, Hyper-V is better than either VS or VMWare Workstation. But it's not a
fair comparison. A better comparision would be to VMWare ESX. Personally, I
still prefer Hyper-V.
