message: Why does this article contain ONLY architecture info? No general info on supported guest OSes?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.128.147.224 (talk) 06:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Only architecture info 

message: Unfortunately, this article does not answer the questions I have at the moment.  I understand that Hyper-V does not have an USB or sound support.  By the look of the diagram, it looks like the Root partition has not got any more direct hardware access than the Child partitions.  Does this mean that even the host Root partition OS (Windows 2008) does not have USB or sound support?  If it does, does it also have direct graphics card access?  ie. Can the host (Root) OS (Windows 2008) use the physical hardware graphics card directly, with 3D acceleration? Jason404 (talk) 15:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the root partition has full access to all of the hardware, including hardware video.  The performance for video hardware is not ideal (depending on drivers and the specific cards used) because they currently tend to do operations that are expensive when running under a hypervisor.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.217.4.235 (talk) 09:59, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Direct Hardware Access 

message: Now that Microsoft is giving away Win2008 Core Hyper-V, I think this article needs to focus more on this aspect - "free software".
: Microsoft Hyper-V server  is a freeware not a free software
Hyper-V is somewhat hyped (no pun intended!) considering it's limitations, and features. It does not have much over Windows 2003 and Virtual Server 2005, other than the fact that Microsoft now give away the whole O/S and Hypervisor for free! Few will needlessly pay for a full blown version of Windows 2008 if they wan to run virtualised servers. 
Please can someone clarify the memory requirements / usage aspect, especially for the free Hyper-V Core.
* Stating the 2 GB memory minimum completely looses the point, as the server needs loads of memory for the virtualised "guest" O/S's. 
:It requires minimum 1GB , recommended 2GB for the host , you have to add your memory needed for guest operating system to your requiremnts .Melnakeeb (talk) 14:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: For Microsoft Hyper-V R2 it supports up to 1 TB . Microsoft Hyper-V server support less memory - but also a number that is very hard to reach :) , but I don't know how much exactly . Melnakeeb (talk) 14:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unclear english 

message: It would be useful to detail the limitations of Hyper-V as a Virtualization platform, since Wikipedia is often used to get a "bird's-eye" view of a subject or technology.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.15.87.226 (talk) 18:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Limitations of Hyper-V 

message: Can the reference to beta be removed from the opening paragraph, Windows Update takes care of this, so the opening seems rather dated and may cause unnecessary confusion. Now that Hyper-V release 2 is close to fruition, now is a good time to move on!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.121.186.28 (talk) 08:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The first para links to virtualization, but gives no clue which of the options listed there applies to Hyper-V. --Tom Edwards (talk) 16:32, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambig needed 

message: May I suggest that this article be renamed to "Microsoft Hyper-V". That's what it's called in the opening sentence, and the text above the info box.

thread_title: Linux support

message: Features in "Windows Server 2012" paragraph like "Multi-tenancy", "Network virtualization" and probably others refer to SCVMM, not Hyper-V. 92.50.219.161 (talk) 00:00, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Windows Server 2012" is not about Hyper-V 

message: I don't know enough about the subject to make any changes, but I was reading this article and found that the USB passthrough section seems really, really strange. "Hyper-V supports USB devices in Hyper-V guest VMs with a new feature called Virtual Machine Connection- Enhanced Session Mode.[34] This fact makes it very inconvenient to run software protected by dongles in the guest."? Why would supporting USB devices make it inconvenient to use dongles? Was the first sentence in this section changed and the second half left untouched? It is a mystery. Hopefully someone with more knowledge about the subject or the article's history can help out here. ✨Nivomi👀👌💯 (talk) 08:35, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  "USB Passthrough" section reads oddly 

message: The section on vt-x handling states that Hyper-V needs to be disabled if the user wishes to use (say) the Microsoft Android emulator, however that appears to directly contradict the following from Microsoft: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt228280.aspx - is this section now out of date ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khmayfin (talk • contribs) 22:42, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
