Hi Gustav and Jim and All -- And I'd add that Hyper-V technology is also available in MS Windows 8 Professional as Client Hyper-V ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh857623.aspx ). Here are "5 excellent uses of Windows 8 Hyper-V" http://www.infoworld.com/d/virtualization/5-excellent-uses-of-windows-8-hyper-v-208436 Using disk2vhd utility ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx ) I have got my old desktop system and old notebook system and their HDDs ported into virtual machines and VHDs and I'm running them now in Client Hyper-V when I need to get some legacy data/files, which I haven't migrated to my new system. I have also Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running under Client Hyper-V as well as Win7-64 and Win7-32 test VMs etc... Thank you. -- Shamil Среда, 15 мая 2013, 10:18 +02:00 от "Gustav Brock" <gustav at cactus.dk>: >Hi Jim > >The free Hyper-V from Microsoft is a stellar product. >First, here is a more handy link: > >https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/hyper-v-server/ > >Click "Free Download" to download the ISO. > >Second, even though not branded as a Windows server but as a bare-metal >hypervisor, it is nothing but a Windows Server 2012 stripped down to an >absolute minimum - and offered for free.
