So No More Hyper-V-Server: https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/31/hyper_v_server_discontinued/
I have been using proxmox and XCP-NG for quite a while now with no issues. Whats your view on this move made by Microsoft. You have support until 2024 on the 2019 edition.

I've only ever seen vmware in typical large hardcore Windows deployments. I think Microsoft lost that market several years ago to vmware. The discontinuation is just an acknowledgement of that fact.
It's like when Microsoft accepted defeat and put Internet Explorer to rest or when they just gave up on Windows Phone.
When Microsoft delivers the software for a server they get a little piece of the pie. When they deliver through the cloud they are providing the software, the hardware, maintenance, service, network, infrastructure, storage, backup etc and they get a very large piece of the pie. And that is what they're after.
Windows Server will go the same way eventually. It will be replaced by something like Azure Stack Edge. Basically moving a piece of the cloud on-prem.

This is sad, but not surprising. You pay per core per month for Azure stack HCI (the replacement) according to what I found quick.
