I like GPS, I like it a lot. I don’t need it, but I want it. I don’t even know why I want it, really, but I do.

Hi Craig,

If you want faster read speeds in Hyper V, may I suggest a WD VelociRaptor HDD. These are extremely quick 10k drives and are amazing for virtual machine access :)

Can you give us the actual make/model of system that you are using, as a reference point? Dell? HP? Other?

I'm about to build the same -- and am investigating Hyper-V, Xen, and VMWare ESX (although the latter seems prohibitively expensive for a dev/test environment) as an underlying layer for running 2-3 servers, and 1 client OS at a time.

As usual, Microsoft has demonstrated little to no regard for real people in their virtualization. The VHD specification is supposed to be compatible between Hyper-V and Virtual Server/Virtual PC but the extensions are not, so trying ot move a virtual environment between Hyper-V and Virtual PC simply doesn't work. I setup the exact development environment you describe above, but I need to be able to move my VM's to my laptop (for demos, client onsite engagements, etc). Why doesn't Hyper-V support the older extensions for backward compaability? Why is Hyper-V only on x64? I ended up going back to Virtual PC, and won't be using Hyper-V until it is supported on a desktop OS.
