I believe they will have quite hard time to catch up. Enjoy, Erick Hi slowe,

Although Microsoft has an army of developers behind them, Virtualization is not their primary product. I believe they will have quite hard time to catch up.

Enjoy,

Besides, Microsoft has always stated that live migration is something they will add to the product. The latest demonstration, performed at the Microsoft virtualization launch event on 9/8, was part of Windows Server 2008 R2. That version is due to be delivered in 2010. That gives the competition--VMware, Virtual Iron, Novell, Red Hat, and Citrix--another 2 years to innovate and add features. Is Microsoft going to be able to catch up? Or will they always be playing keep up with everyone else? These are valid questions. Erick,

Microsoft is preparing their live migration not their quick migration any more. Well If you are not believing this yet then watch the video about hyper-v live migration & the new hyper-v Server Microsoft is preparing at http://www.virtualizationteam.com or a direct link in case the post is pushed down later on at http://www.virtualizationteam.com/microsoft/hyper-v/videos-on-the-new-version-of-hyper-v-and-hyper-v-server.html I hope that address you concern :). Nice movie watching don't forget your popcorn :) and drop us a comment there on what do u thing. Enjoy, Erick Hi,

It does do a save state-move-start process, and the time required to do so is directly related to the speed of your SAN and VM memory size. Msft likes to say it is a few seconds of downtime but they also don't seem to use real world memory sizes, most demos I've seen has been with 512MB RAM :) That sounds more like Quick Migration Chris, which is what they currently offer with Hyper-V.

They talk about several seconds of VM downtime, seems to be some kind of suspend-move-start.
