@Jstear said in Why is Hyper-V More Confusing:

I will mention that when I took Windows Server classes in college, we were using Windows Server 2008 R2 and installing the Hyper-V role. It wasn't until after college that I realized there was an actual free version called "Hyper-V Server".

Because.... College. 😉

Nah, I think that is pretty much the problem everyone has, and the root of a lot of this.

If you google search how to make a techie buy your _____ brand or product or service

The article on darait.co.uk is top of the search. Somehow no one else has written about this with those keywords before. Really surprised.

This link was SO successful, they took the entire site down. jaja

This is so fake.

Yet not unbelievable if we think about the world we live in.

Ya know, I'm not sure I'm unhappy about this leak.

Now maybe I'll be able to run DBAN on any Windows 10 device I want.

The wife is playing today. Which of course involves just sitting at the kitchen table as her parents' house is full of Pokemon.

I got banned in Star Craft 2 for using single player mods 😛 So lost the rights to even play the game offline but I am allowed to buy a new key for the game...under the same account.

Define dedicated server hosting. I assume that you mean "a la Rackspace?" If so.... Rackspace!

Physical server which no one else uses. With a certain spec.

What other definitions are there? 🙂

People use the terms loosely. Some people mean VMs that aren't shared, like Digital Ocean. Some people mean managed servers that you lease, like Rackspace. Some people mean standard colocation where you provide the server, like Colocation America.

Not that MS hasn't been screwing the pooch with this whole GWX BS... but damn this is just ridiculous!!!!

If you can't cope with doing hyper-v well, you can't cope with XenServer, Yes you do get more toys immediately with XenServer but to use them properly you need that competence to use them safely.

I don't know if I agree. Installing XS well takes, like, zero effort. Take any decent commodity server, pop in the CD, it takes care of itself. It's done well (enough at least) out of the box.

Hyper-V is nothing like that. You will, by default, be led down all kinds of bad and confusing routes. You can do XS well long before you can even figure out how to acquire Hyper-V.

I literally built a brand new server in full disaster mode at 2am, the crucial time when I am bound to make mistakes, Hyper-V, 2 server VMs, all done nicely to a standard but most of the work was the guest VMs, the hypervisor was simple. Whether that's XS/ESXI/Hyper-v, they are almost apples to apples for installing, I mean maybe for fun we should line up a tech with the same hardware, video record time trial him installing each hypervisor.

Maybe the problem is that people who know choose XS and people who are confused chose HV? At one time, @John-Nicholson and I watched for like a year on SW and every single (literally EVERY single) mention of HV was because the person deploying it was confused and thought that they had to or were deploying something else or didn't know how it got there or thought that it gave them something that it did not. Every, single, one.

It might be the confusion leading people to HV, which then causes them to be confused about how to use it.

That you can use it well, already knowing how virtualization works, isn't relevant to the normal Windows world and isn't indicative in any way.

This got way more popular than I had been expecting it to be!

Now we just need to find use-cases for this 😉

Back in the late 90s, a group of ~50 engineers and FEA people would have loved to have that available. We could do 3D remotely, but sound without an audio card, not so much.

Even so - I think most people would say "you're backing up to Flickr" then you're deleting from the phone.

Though I certainly understand that you consider it just copying to Flickr before deleting it from local.

Most people would be using the wrong terms too. He is uploading to Flickr, not backing up to it.

The crazy court shows my wife watches says yes, they should have to pay for what they did receive. Half the work complete, get half the pay.

That's if we are talking employment. Not providing the deliverable is pretty big.

Many places.

I am having lag issues today.

I guess we got lucky. We tried to install that update and the update download kept failing due to NVidia's shoddy download system. So I gave up and haven't gotten back to it yet. Guess I will hold off, then.

Specifically this was the boot camp 6 update for Windows 10.

Since adding that .exe to the exception list, no crash.
