Microsoft Virtualization wins hands down... we use it in our Data centres and the performance is excellent.. addiction treatment | lose weight | bad breath | teeth bleaching

Hyper-V and VMware both have their strengths and weaknesses... i guess if i had windows environment then Hyper-V would be my best bet...

I've been involved with both virtualization platforms, and I must admit that Microsoft platform seems pretty solid (even more with changes made in W2K8R2). It looks like MS is on the right track now. Also, a Microsoft virtualization implementation is way cheaper than a similar VMWARE implementation (4 times cheaper, based on my personal experience). Way to go, guys!
