It's like religion. I support customers that love VMWare and I support customers that love Hyper-V.
Personally, I run Hyper-V. I like it. The feature set isn't exactly the same, but it's quite similar. Regards, Michael B.

It will be pretty simple virtualization, a couple of big boxes running 4 or 5 virtualized servers each. No cluster failovers or anything like that. We dabbled in VMWare before Hyper-V became mature but now I need to pick one and run with it. I am leaning towards Hyper-V because it is included with our license and so far has been pretty painless in testing. I found VMWare to be confusing with all the different packages, licensing...upgrades and all that. I suspect it provides far more flexibility but not knowing what that flexibility really is concerns me. So thought I would ask the knowledgeable masses here if I am missing anything important.
