So for servers and or clients (VDI).
Only WinXP (really lean) or Linux could be a 'small' vm
Vista would be medium
And almost any server would be large.
One more reason that I ask is this way is that I follow the Hyper-V
forums pretty closely and there are lots of folks that don't seem to
think very much about creating 30Gb, 60Gb, or larger virtual disks.
I don't know if this just becuase of platform and new folks becoming exposed.
I also see people talking of virtualizing Exchange, SQL, and
SharePoint and using virtual disks instead of passthrough disks.
any comments on all that Steve?
(BTW - Thanks!!)
