      Have you seen something in between?

      Yeah, compiling.

      That's so blazing fast today... Not like 15 to 20 years ago when you hit F5, CTRL-ALT-DEL->SPACE and went off to get the next coffee.

      You need to run more stuff in the background to slow it down! Coffee time is sacred 😄

      Just checked my current workstation: Xeon 1240, 32GB RAM, SSD, bla bla.

      😮

      Not the biggest, I know, but it's a developer / admin workstation, not a CAD system

      I thought I was doing ok with a 2 year old laptop, i5, 16gb and ssd haha

      Granted it sounds like we do different things all day so fair enough!

      That describes my Acer gaming laptop at home, lol.

                      What kind of licensing does Microsoft and others offer for people who need to dick around with hypervisors, namely hyper-v and vsphere? Is there a "good" way to do it that is cost effective for a home lab?

                        Hyper-V is free, so the licensing would be with the Server OS.

                        Which you can download free trials from their website which last for 180 days.

                          Oh cool. I'm just going to pay for the OS. From what I'm seeing here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/windows-server-2012-r2-pricing your options are pretty limited if you want to have a lot of different VM's running.

                            Why buy a Server OS for a home lab? You can continually download the trials or just reinstall a new trial over and over.

                            No harm no foul.

                            Unless you're made of money or have a money tree.

                            Do you have a money tree?

                              You don't need to pay a single cent for a fully functioning Hyper-V, just download Microsoft Hyper-V Server (NOT Windows Server with Hyper-V). There are no restrictions or limits in functionality. It's just not allowed to install any roles but Hyper-V and Failover Cluster. Fair enough from my point of view.

                              For the guests, well, when it's Windows you need to pay for it, no matter the hypervisor. If you only plan for Linux/BSD VMs for example, you won't need any server licenses or CALs at all.

                                    Or do I just use XenServer 6.5 until things "catch" up like unitrends?

                                        No simply has not supported when I try and add the host. So guessed it's too new for them........ Hence thinking go back to 6.5 for now.

                                            yeah downloaded yesterday http://www.unitrends.com/products/software/unitrends-enterprise-backup, yeah it shows XenServer as an option but when I try and add the XenServer it just says not supported.
