We recently (last week) announced support of Microsoft Hyper-V as well. You can check out some screenshots and a demo movie on our blog — http://blog.vmlogix.com

Like it has been noted in the industry, we are the first in the segment to offer this capability to our customers.

Thanks,

I’ve noticed that the MSN transport is down, but haven’t had any real time to look into it. I did look into it today and got as far as (re)discovering that the author of pymsn-t stopped developing it at the start of last year… Thanks for pointing me at the fix, I’ve applied it now.

I’ll also think about updating the webpage at http://jabber.meta.net.nz/ to make it more obvious how to contact us. The old page: http://jabber.meta.net.nz/old/ has the admin’s jids on it at least :)

I use your MSN transport, on and off, and it’s down at the moment. Or rather, it’s up, but the pymsnt (ejabberd) transport has a bug that has recently showed up with some Microsoft server side change.

Long story short…

Thanks for posting about acceptance.morelyrics.co.uk, I agree is certainly does appear to be a weird autoblog!

It is part of a network of sites about music and the aggregated content should be related to a specific artist (In this case, Acceptance - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_(band)). However, for some artists - named after generic or common terms - we are unfortunately picking up unrelated posts. We are working on improving the targeting to avoid this in the future.

I’ve removed the reference to your post and please accept my apologies for quoting you out of context.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the comment. Every time I hear about XenDesktop from Citrix, they’re saying “it’s VM agnostic”. They don’t want you to think you have to replace your existing VMWare infrastructure with XenServer. So adding Hyper-V as a backend for XenDesktop seems trivial. I’m not Citrix though, so who knows :)

Thanks for reading! I could see Citrix possibly moving into cross-platform virtualization management, whether via XenCenter or something else. To me, though, this just doesn’t make a great deal of sense. Microsoft is already hard at work building VMM 2008 into a cross-platform management tool, and XenCenter is still just focused on managing XenServer. It seems they would have a great deal of catching up to do. Of course, I’m no expert, so I could very well be completely wrong.

As I mentioned in my post, though, it would make a great deal of sense for Citrix to make XenDesktop work well with Hyper-V. The same goes for Citrix Provisioning Server and Citrix Application Streaming; both of these could add tremendous value to a Hyper-V installation (heck, they add value to a VMware installation). These are areas where Citrix could really help round out Hyper-V’s functionality, much like Presentation Server (er, XenApp) helps to round out Terminal Services’ functionality.

Unfortunately, not as straightforward as that. The problem is resolved now, but I don’t have access to any spare AiOs to test it again unfortunately.
