Vista Service Pack 1/XP Service Pack 3

that’s better!

hyper v is not on the same level as vmware… trust me. i’m a vmware engineer, which naturally means nothing, but the reality is that i’ve been around town and have worked for or worked with people that worked for (or did projects at) many many many companies… i can only name one that uses virtual server (not true i can name two, but one is microsoft lol) on an enterprise level… and the reasoning is because microsoft threw it at them with support for free just to get it where it is (into a retail enviroment).

so yeah… it’s cool and the new kernel advances in the os allows better virtualization, but it has a long way to come to be a competitor. I actually did an ADS session at microsoft and joked with them, eventually getting them to admit that vmware is superior! lol
