Carl's saying: "answer the question, or say 'you don't know'" That's some kind of ultimatum that isn't necessary. I'm trying to help the guy answer his original question. If he wants to change the question, that's fine, but he can do so without the attitude.
His original post, about how the parent partition works, contained some factual inaccuracies, and I'm trying to provide information on how this stuff actually works. Turning around with attitude is called "biting the hand that feeds you". As far as I'm concerned, he can go figure it out himself then. Lastly, the MVP thing is irrelevant. I don't put myself out as an MVP - I don't have a sig, or anything similar. So, please don't bring irrelevancies into the conversation.

I think your attitude is the bad attitude. They must be giving MVP status to anyone in OZ nowadays...

What feature in Hyper-V host services under 2008 makes it advantageous to use that instead of standalone Hyper-V server, for the functional requirement I've outlined? Answer the question or say "I don't know". This wasn't your original question. Please take your attitude somewhere else For reference, your original question was: Why would I NOT prefer to use standalone Hyper-V for all virtualized servers including 2008? And the answer to that is "it depends". You go figure it out for yourself. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
