Hyper-V in Server 2008 RTM doesn't like non-US locales

,----[ Quote ]
| Annoying. Yes, it is mentioned in the release notes - but what if Hyper-V 
| beta had required you to set a non-US locale at install time? Do you think 
| Microsoft would have flagged this problem more prominently?

It'll be the 'Vista of servers'. And it's not a compliment.

Will Windows Home Server be Microsoft’s next flop?

| If you buy-off on the theory that the world seems to be heading in the

| wonder what the long term prospects for an offering like Windows Home Server 
| are. Not good, if you ask me.

Windows Home Server fan club beats me up for asking if WHS is Microsoft’s next
