Existing customers gravitate to Microsoft Hyper-V

Microsoft appears potentially well-suited to win users of its Hyper-V virtualization software from among its existing customers, judging from comments of attendees at the company's virtualization launch party in Bellevue, Washington, on Monday. Amazon.com is one company testing out Hyper-V. So far, the company is running two virtual servers, one as a test bed and one in use, said Joe Stewart, hardware developer at Amazon.com, speaking from the show floor. While he did look at virtualization software from other providers including VMware, he has settled on Hyper-V in part because he has found that, generally, software works best when running on software made by the same vendor.
