It\u2019s that time of year when between 1,000 and 2,000 Microsoft Valuable Professionals<\/a> (MVPs) stop blogging, tweeting, doing public speaking, and drop of the face of the planet.  That\u2019s because it\u2019s MVP Summit<\/a> time, the opportunity for us to visit with Microsoft, the product groups and our colleagues in the MVP world in Bellevue (near Seattle) and Redmond (the MSFT global HQ).  <\/p>\n

We go off the air because most of the content is under NDA.  This is the biggest privilege we get as MVPs, interacting directly with the product groups, sharing your feedback (more later), and getting some insider info which when it is public, we can use to help educate our respective communities.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m all packed, and ready to rock.  I fly into Seattle tomorrow night and stay for a week.  I know that some MVPs are landing around now to contribute to MSFT Geek Give, a charitable program run by MSFT before big conferences.  I\u2019ve a very interesting day lined up for Monday with a few of my friends.  I can\u2019t talk about it yet (or at all \u2013 I\u2019ll find out on Monday) but I\u2019m really looking forward to it and a BIG thank you to the persons responsible for arranging it.  And then we go deep under, emerging on Friday, and that\u2019s all you\u2019ll hear from me on those days \"Smile\"  In the meantime, I\u2019ll get to hang out with my fellow Hyper-V MVP and the various friends I\u2019ve gotten to know in this community over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Back to your feedback.  On my last 2 visits, I\u2019ve asked you for your feedback.  On those occasions we had already released version of Hyper-V.  So this time, I want your feedback on Windows 8 Hyper-V and what you\u2019d like like to hear on Windows vNext Hyper-V.  My rules for your feedback are simple:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read the list of publicly released features for Windows Server 8 Hyper-V<\/a>. <\/li>\n
  2. When posting your feedback on Windows Server 8, remember that the beta\/\u201dConsumer Preview\u201d is to be launched on Feb 29th.  We are probably at feature lock so no new stuff will be developed, but feedback on existing stuff will be welcome. <\/li>\n
  3. If something isn\u2019t there in v8, what would you like to see in \u201cv9 Hyper-V\u201d? <\/li>\n
  4. Keep it polite, short, and explain reason. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Post your feedback using the comment feature at the end of this post.  Feedback is important to the Hyper-V guys.  They really do value and use it.  If you say what<\/em> you want and why<\/em>, the \u201cwhy\u201d is just as important as the \u201cwhat\u201d.  There\u2019s a long list of \u201cwhat\u201d and the \u201cwhy\u201d can change the order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
