Hyper-V 2012r2 Fanboy right here

Hey Mangoes,
I've seen the light and i aint turnin back. Worked with @dafyre this past weekend migrating a client from esxi(free) to hv2k12r2(lol putting the k saved exactly 0 chars). And well, i
HV12r2. Here is a spectacular writeup on the super fancy super simple replication that makes disaster recovery a breeze, as long as you've got enough hardware to support it!Anyway, just thought i'd start a topic where we can discuss Microsoft's redemption in the hypervisor space

Since 2012 came out, I have only been setting up SMB clients with Hyper-V .
I have a single client still on VMWare and would love to migrate them also.

HyperV and XenServer are the only hypervisors that we regularly recommend.

I don't really see it as redemption, more of just lots of people jumped in and tried to use it long before it was ready for prime time and had bad experiences which were unfair. VMware and Xen were crappy before they were mature, too. They are just much older than HyperV so went through those growing pains with only each other as competition.

@scottalanmiller Seems like more has happened with Hyper-V in the last 12 months, than it ever has in development. I'll be excited to see what happens in the next few years, especially with RemoteFX and VDI (setting up some Raspberry Pi 2's from Amazon for $70, and Raspberry Thin PC download). Tried it out over this last spring in a VMware Horizon View environment, and all I can say is wow. That install has pretty much every remote protocol. You can harden the client by locking out the docks/settings/etc once you're all done setting it up. Not perfect, but nearly there.
