Virtual Plugin vs Hyper V
I wish you had been right. I can imagine the support issues that would happen by enabling users with a complete hyper-v virtual machine to run the old business software instead of just the app running in a hidden XP machine as with Win7. At least with Win7 they can't fiddle with it.
Yes, a few of my companies within the group are still using 16 bit business software. Manufacturing in particular tends to work like that. We do still have a Cobol based system which was a massive investment which is still being leveraged and VERY unlikely to be replaced in the current climate.
Looking at the comparison chart on the editions, I do like the ISO & VHD mounting as standard, shame that wasn't in Win7. However that on it's own will not be sufficient to convince me to spend the investment needed to get it working with existing systems. So thanks MS, but no thanks, we will stick with XP and go to Win7 where we have no choice.
