"Virtualization Is Now a Key Strategic Theme for Every IT Department," Says
Citrix CTO
,----[ Quote ]
| At the same time, Microsoft with Hyper-V in the OS, and the Linux vendors
| with Xen have the opportunity to leverage the same code base through a
| different delivery model, where the OS virtualizes more instances of that OS,
| or other guests. This model is still in its early stages – the Linux vendors
| don’t virtualize Windows well, and Microsoft Hyper-V doesn’t support Linux
| particularly well.

Virtualization's dirty little secrets

| The server virtualization drum beat gets louder with Microsoft poised to

Hyper-V Leaves Linux Out In The Cold
,----[ Quote ]
| Wednesday, Microsoft said Hyper-V beta for Windows Server 2008 is feature
| complete. Included in the list of operating systems supported are Windows
| Server 2003 SP2, Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1, Windows Vista
| SP1 (x86), and Windows XP SP3 (x86). See John Fontana's article for more
| details about the Hyper-V RC announcement.
|
| Though I'm anxious for Hyper-V to be released, especially the standalone
| version (which is not what this RC announcement was about), I'm very
| disappointed in Hyper-V's lack of support for Linux.
|
| No offense to SUSE Enterprise Server crowd, but only providing SUSE support
| in Hyper-V is a huge mistake. By not supporting Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and
| BSD, Microsoft is telling us Hyper-V is a Microsoft only technology. More Mt.
| Redmond, Microsoft center of the universe thinking. That's disappointing.

Why Novell is happy with Hyper-V
,----[ Quote ]
| However, Hyper-V's Linux support is limited to SUSE. That's no surprise,
| given Microsoft's relationship with Novell, but more users have Red Hat, and
| other distributions. They won't be able to use Microsoft's virtualisation
| technology - though to be fair, they will probably be more interested in
| VMWare or Red Hat's own virtualisation technology.
|
| "We're pleased with Hyper-V," says Justin Steinman, director of Linux
| marketing at Novell. "SUSE Linux is a first class guest on Microsoft Windows
| Server." Microsoft's Steve Ballmer has shown SUSE Linux running as a guest,
| which was "cool", said Steinman.
