the point i was trying to understand is how they enable independent migration 
and failover of virtual machines in HyperV, given that a limitation of their 
non clustered file system  means that one storage LUN must be dedicated to each 
virtual machine or else a quick migration will migrate all guests on that LUN 
and not just the one you want.

That and i'd be interested to understand their definition of High Availability 
as without these requirements this would mean invoking quick motion by way of a 
failed host. Give the file system limitations mentioned which involves multiple 
hosts not being able to read and write from the same virtual disk concurrently 
this will involve a suspend of the machine and a startup on the other host, 
involving lost packets and downtime. ESX doesnt have this limitation, so its 
more of a increased availability and not high availability.

You'd assume wrong.
There is no "active/passive" context for ISA and never has been.
The failover would be between Hv hosts if it happens at all.
Like I said in the interview; this hasn't been tested specifically.

ahhh! the interview said "quick migration"

so i have a  question regarding the failover bit. i am assuming that you are 
talking about isa application failover and not failover of the ISA guest to 
another HV host (cos we know that just doesnt work in HV i.e quick migration)

So, id be interested to know how the shared storage part will work, presumably 
the CSS will need to be on the shared storage to have a two mirrored ISA guests 
and setups on separate HV hosts, any other requirements?
