Does your company have plans to deploy Hyper-V on an enterprise level when it is released?

There is no point in dealing with switching to Microsoft so we will be on a limited system that has not been proven. VMWare has been doing it a long time and understand the market and customer needs better than Microsoft probably ever will.

When I can install the MS virtualization offering over a Linux or BSD kernelled host OS then it'll be worth a look.. somehow, I bet that's not on the development roadmap.

Heck, with VMware, you won't need the host OS at all soon.

Sadly, we may also be seeing the start of another better technology loosing out too a better marketing department. Who knows though; we'll have to wait until MS-hyperV comes out of release candidate.
You almost do not need Microsoft.If you could access the real BIOS you would see that it is all automatic.Everything in the system is detected and then delegated.

Here's what comes out of my poor abused grey mush assuming the three posts are duplicates:

The bios detects all the hardware in a system provided it sticks to plug and play standards these days.

The bios is also the lowest level of the software stack and sits between the OS and the hardware.

This means that an OS which talks to the bios properly should be aware of all the hardware and resource allocations already done by the bios during boot.

I see that failing with new hardware on older bios firmware updates. Also, the bios may know of the hardware and it's irq but the OS still has to understand the functions available too it and how they are used.

gah.. that dentist said his fancy drugs would wear off in a few hours and that was days ago.. cold... soo.. ccold.. (or maybe I guesse right.. who knows really) happy
