Thanks All.
I actually heard that the Microsoft iteration of Hyper-V actually uses a
Parent VM to control the Child VM's. Making the VM architecture completely
dependent on this Parent VM. The way i see it, that exposes the machine to 2
points of failure: The phsyical aspects of the server itself and this Parent
OS.
is this true ?
