Hyper-V, the laughter continues,

Today my twitter popped up and I saw a retweet from Duncan Epping pointing to an article on VInternals. Duncan added a warning ‘Please sit down before reading my latest post‘, this caught my attention.

I read the article and I must say, this is a MUST READ for all virtualization architects, admins, decision makers!

The article, published January 2009, contains information directly from employees from Microsoft explaining the design considerations in relation to Hyper-V. Make sure you’re sitting down when you read the excerpts, are somewhere private like your own home, and have the bathroom door open and an Ambulance on hold. Because it is very likely you will piss yourself laughing.

This article is the next article in a long sequel of Microsoft Hyper-V vs VMware ESX articles, like:

VMware dedicated a blog to this so called Microsoft mythbusting, you can find it here.

    Thx for the shout out and kind words :)
  • Yes, I also ran into that blog. Thanks I will add it to the post.

    I think Microsoft shot itself in the foot with their so called mythbusting.

    They should have done the same what we do before posting an article. Consult colleagues and friends to verify the content of the article. In this way we try to bring up-to-date, correct and honest information.

    VMware added a blog on their own site about the "myth" busting:
