Microsoft Chit Chat

Vunshare
Today's topic, Microsoft making noise...
I couldn't believe it when I heard that someone said Microsoft was hot and on the tale or trail of VMware. Now I think Microsoft is a great company and innovator. But since when and how, has the release of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-VR2 changed the game? I remember last year's Hyper-V release and it didn't get great reviews and from what I understood it really didnt stand up to VMware. So how is it that a modified product or as they would say enhanced version, now requiring a SCVMM System Center Virtual Machine Manager, another new development and with it comes another new cost. Who could really view this release as launching Microsoft to the front of the line in the World of Virtualization. Really they wanted to say is Microsoft currently experiencing a shortage in workforce, is now Hot on trail of Support and Engineering Professionals with virtualization experience. All joking aside, they are a force out there and It's fun picking on Microsoft. Great company and a key contributor in the virtualization space.

Vunshare Topics:

- How much better than the first server is Windows Server 2008
Hyper-V R2 and including the SCVMM?

- Now with the SCVMM how is set up and configuration effected?

- Can Microsoft out do a product that will stand up to VMware's vSphere?

In my mind VMware is leading the race with Virtualization Technology and Microsoft a is significant value and contributor.
