Thanks Tony. Sorry for the late reply - it has been one of those weeks for me :-(
I did switch to CentOS and it was a bit of a struggle using it on Hyper-V (a little research got me going). I agree with you on stability and my plan is to actually set this up to be a local only environment where it won't need to be patched at all (can't access it except from the Hyper-V host). At this point, I'm just interested in keeping up with U2 since I've moved on to other technologies (still love UniData, just not enough opportunity in my area to work with it).

It's not meant to be used for production applications. You could get UV to work on it this week and it will break with a core update next week, or with some tiny dependency change or profile setting that's tough to trace. MV databases aren't oriented toward agile/chaotic environments like that. Serious developers should strive for stability in their own environment, with an eye for deployment over end-user systems with equal stability. Sure, I enjoy a challenge as much as the next geek, but at some point you need to ask yourself if you're wasting time chasing drivers and patches and hacks (like symlinks) when you really want to be doing something more productive. Get CentOS or RedHat. They're stable, well supported, and certified by the DBMS providers.
