To follow up on the Microsoft Mythbusting Video Stu has dissected a Microsoft technical case study called How Microsoft Designs the Virtualization Host and Network Infrastructure.

Head on over to vinternals and read Microsoft Myths and Realities…. As Stu concludes, VMware doesn't need marketing when Microsoft provides us with this kind of real life examples on how their infrastructure works.

Thanks Microsoft, you just made my job much easier with regards to explaining to management why Hyper-V just doesn't cut it.

On the 3rd of April 2009, Microsoft released a video which was supposed to "bust" 10 "VMware Myths", but as far as I can see the entire video has backfired pretty badly.

I'll let some of the brighter minds highlight the video content and dissect the myths, but I have to say this: Microsoft, please, if you want to play this game do it right. Make your own cases, don't try to disprove other people by highlighting their errors, erroneously. That doesn't work, sorry.

Stu posted "Microsoft Hyper-V 2.0 - NO Memory Overcommit!"

Be sure to read the comments on the original video as well. Can anyone spell busted? Or is that coming in R2?

Finally I want to highlight a post by Eric Sloof: "When I’m feeling blue" hits the sweet spot with regards to just how mature and stable Hyper-V is. I guess busted is a part of v1.0 after all.
