Before we get into this: yes I am pro-Microsoft. But I have deployed and used VMware software in the past. I have been a happy ESX customer. I even agree with those who state VMware Workstation is the best product for virtualisation on Windows Vista/7.
Last night, I dissected an article by Elias Khnaser. I wondered why he, in my opinion, had a poorly educated bias (isn’t that what ignorance is?) against Hyper-V. I searched him out and found big ol’ VMware all over his site. Ahh!
Maybe InformationWeek should really do a better job of hiring someone to evaluate Hyper-V? For example, I wouldn’t hire me to write an evaluation of vSphere because I am not educated about it and I have a clear favour for Hyper-V – it doesn’t take a genius long to figure that out. Or maybe it’s InformationWeek that had an agenda? It’s not unlike some media to have a slant towards their advertisers. That’s clearly evident in one publication’s annual summer awards issue where “big yellow” wins every time despite being the most hated s/w vendors on the planet.
