Advantages Hyper-V technology

* Microsoft technology – since Hyper-V is a Microsoft technology, it is guaranteed to work almost flawlessly with Windows Server 2008 boxes meaning that you should be able to run several stable virtual machines off your physical server using Hyper-V – if there are any security holes or bugs found within Hyper-V then you will find that Microsoft will be quick to develop a fix for such holes and bugs which will then be issued via Microsoft Auto-Update allowing you to upgrade all the programs on your system without the need to do so manually

* Enterprise Linux compability – although Hyper-V may not be compatible with a majority of Linux distributions, it can still be used with Suse 10 which will allow you to test any Linux based applications you have within the confinements of the Hyper-V virtual machine environment – although you may feel limited with only being able to use the Suse Linux distribution, you should note that this is one of the best Linux distributions around that should be able to offer you what you need when it comes down to running and testing Linux based application

Eeeewwww, Suse is a dirty word in my mind. Possibly the worst linux distribution to ever be even classed as a server OS.
