I'm curious as to how many people are doing this.
I've recently taken delivery of our new server that has
xeon 5063's in it and intial experiements of Win2k3 under HVM
show pretty low network performance, which is a little
limiting.
While I'm only really looking at HVM as a interesting
experiment, I'd like to hear what other people are doing
with it...
