“The Great Big Hyper-V Survey of 2011”
Three Microsoft MVPs (Aidan Finn, Damian Flynn and Hans Vredevoort) are currently conducting a survey to try and find out more about how the world is using Hyper-V.
I would strongly encourage anyone and everyone to go and fill out their survey – which is located here:

You can also read more about the motivation and goals of the survey on Aidan’s blog.
Please be aware that this is not a Microsoft funded / organized survey – and that I am recommending this as it is being conducted by our MVPs.
Cheers,
Ben

Thanks for the plug Ben. So far, the results are quite interesting. We can't wait to start sharing them the week before Build. I'm learning a lot from them, and I think everyone else will too.Anonymous

Thank you for the interesting survey. By the way, on its last page there is a required question about what you want to be included in next version of Hyper-V (Replica and something else). I don't see the use of these features now but I was forced to choose one or both of them.Anonymous

I'm not sure how else you're publicizing this, but by posting it on the Microsoft Virtualization Guy blog you're bound to skew the results.Anonymous

skew the results on a survey asking "why you chose hyper-v"? How? The results must already be skewed since Aiden is a Microsoft MVP. It will be presented at a Microsoft event. It's not any different than VMWare asking VMWare customers why they chose vsphere, you're asking current customers why they are using the technology.Anonymous

Yeah, I misread the context of the survey. Once I looked at the questions it was clear that it was targeted at Hyper-V users rather than the general virtualization community.Anonymous
