I'm also rather disappointed that this is the apparent extent of their work. Novell sales droids seem enthused about this, but I don't know any linux shops that have been hoping and waiting to virtualize their linux servers under microsoft control.
Of all the things we might have hoped for, by way of some tangible benefit from all the supposed interoperability work, this sad little check box is all they have to show for it?
Where's the beef?

Why. why. WHY would anyone in their right mind run Linux, or any real operating system, on top of Windows? I suspect mental illnesses are more rampant than we realize.
LOL "sad little check box." No kidding!

There are some small benefits.
-If Linux under 'Hyper V' doesn't work well, at least Microsoft has to do something about it, -I understand Microsoft will anounce one of the coming days that it's buying Citrix. That might mean less funds for Linux on Xen. -Some 'Windows only' shops can now run Linux with Microsoft support. Not that it's of much help, but some 'Windows only' shops just want Microsoft support for anything including tieing their shoelaces.

Well, a hangman's noose is rather difficult.

With Windows, they're tying their shoes with nooses, whether they realize/admit it or not.

I mean, vmware and virtualbox and qemu have been doing linux guests on windows hosts for years.... Given, they don't have the ability to "manage Linux from Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager". Whatever that means.
