I've not seen an install of Server Core before. Is this new to Windows 2008 or
part of the Hyper-V install?
Ken, can you email me your presentation? Sounds like a good introduction.

However when considering patching a Core vs full OS install of the host OS,
the core will probably have to be rebooted far less.

To be honest, in my experience you might get a few hundred MB of RAM back
by running Core rather than a full install. Unless you have a few VM hosts,
it's not worth worrying about either way.
Performance is good – very good compared to Virtual Server 2005
However there are a few drawbacks:
- No real management tools yet (SCVMM vNext is required for
managing Hyper-v)
- A few bugs (e.g. with TCP Offload and the new NICs)
- No ability to build VMs using PXE booting and using the new
synthetic NICs ( you need to use a legacy NIC)
If you want a drill-down into Hyper-V architecture, I did a presentation
for my local user group on it that I can send to you direct.
Cheers

It is light-years ahead of where Microsoft's VM technology has been. You
want to use it on top of Server Core as opposed to the standard server install
to keep your parent OS from using all your resources.
I'm sure you'll have many longs days of fun with it.

Has anyone been playing with Hyper-V from Microsoft? If so, what are your
impressions? Since it is rolled into our licensing for Server 2008 anyway, we
are looking at it for virtualization. It seems like it has a lot of the same
features and functions as VMWare and ESX. I am just now setting up a test box
for it. Any hints, tips or tricks to it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
