message: I am disputing the revert done by User:Jasper Deng on this article and would like discussion and consensus on my changes. I specifically claim:
# My edit was reverted unnecessarily, as I cited a source and clarified my edit to the table with a reference.
# The other editor, User:Jasper Deng has not cited one source to dispute my claims, while I have, in the meantime, added sources (as shown above).

replies: text: I disagree, as I linked to earlier,  plainly states, "The RemoteFX 3D video adapter enables 3D capabilities to a user connecting by using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC). A RemoteFX 3D video adapter can be added as a device to a virtual machine, which provides a Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver with support for DirectX 9.0c." The virtual RemoteFX video adapter is attached to the virtual machine at the Hyper-V server, and is done so with the instructions that follow. That is 3D acceleration, no? That it is limited to certain guest operating systems (Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise, Ultimate, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) was noted. You insisted in the prior discussion that this graphics adapter was for remote use only, but that's a claim further than the cited article states, which is that RemoteFX enables 3D acceleration for remote desktop use. I believe it is against Wikipedia policy to cite yourself, otherwise I would perform the experiment on my home PC. Or would that satisfy you, if I took a screenshot of a Hyper-V VM on my PC with the virtual graphics card in the device manager list? You tell me. Pseudonym 07:12, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Addendum; my original source additionally stated, "GPU Virtualization / GPU Virtualization is a technology that exposes a virtual graphics device to a virtual machine. RemoteFX exposes a WDDM driver with the virtual desktop, and it allows multiple virtual desktops to share a single GPU on a Hyper-V server." This clearly states that the virtual machines use a GPU on the Hyper-V server. Pseudonym 07:26, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I am constantly trying to update wikipedia, but my changes are reverted back.
1. I'm Technologov, long-term VirtualBox community member, and understand it well, along with some other virtualization software.
2. VirtualBox 4.0 does have limits.
http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=41211
Maximum host physical processors (sockets) = 256 logical
Maximum host cores per processor = same (256)
Maximum host memory = 2 TB
Maximum host disk volume size = no limit
Maximum number of guest VM running = 1024 VMs
Maximum number of logical CPU per VM guest = 32
Maximum amount of memory per VM guest, 32/64 bit = 16 GiB
Maximum number of SCSI + IDE disks per VM guest = 4 IDE + 30 for others
Maximum disk size per VM guest = 2 TB
3. Quick look at Hyper-V, also shows limits:

thread_title:  VM Limits  

message: I propose that this page be merged with Comparison of VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop. Both Fusion and Parallels are covered on this page, and I feel that their specific page serves only as an advertisement. In fact, many of the criteria on this page have been copied verbatim from the Parallels advertising website, including the criteria: "Keyboard shortcut (F6 or Fn + F6) for hiding/showing Parallels Desktop and all its windows." and "TimeMachine backups can be synced with SmartGuard snapshots, to reduce the space required for backups." The page is clearly biased and serves no purpose that Comparison of platform virtual machines cannot. As a result, this page should be merged with the redundant and biased smaller page to protect Wikipedia's integrity and decrease user confusion. Tutleman (talk) 20:07, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

There is a serious oversight in this wiki in that it is missing one of the most popular open source virtualization tools available.
 http://www.proxmox.com/products/proxmox-ve
Note: I don't work for proxmox but I do use the tool as do many.
Note: ProxmoxVE uses Perl (and some PHP scripts in v1.9) to provde a web admin interface for OpenVZ and QEMU Virtual Machines.

This will become increasingly important and should be considered for a column on one of the feature tabels
Was added to Hyper-V with Windows Server 2016, but I am still trying to track down which other Hypervisors (and which versions) support it 
To the people who like to maintain this comparison page, please consider this idea.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.168.44.190 (talk) 00:55, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

message: What about "Red Hat Virtualization" ?   
I have just been asked to help support this environment and found you don't even mention it in the comparison.
Redhat used Xen for years then switched to KVM and now evidently switched to "Red Hat Virtualization" as a more mature web gui driven product.
I guess I will install it somewhere and try it hopefully on CentOS.
