Spent this morning rebuilding my laptop with Windows Server 2008 so I can run Hyper-V Michael O'Donovan

It would be great if you could also compare the performance to SharePoint running natively on the sme hardware.

Thanks for the great comparison!

Thanks for taking the time to benchmark this Michael, it's really helpful.

The only fault that I can see is that it would have better to use Windows Server 2008 x64 for the Virtual Server 2005 R2 install as well; that way you were only changing one variant.

I'm curious if the test laptop (Dell D620) is utilizing a VT-enabled processor.

I ask because it indicates whether this performance difference is comparing the overhead of virtual server versus Hyper-V, or whether it's comparing virtual server w/o VT to Hyper-V with VT.

Yes, it is using Vt-Processor.

Convert your Windows Server 2008 to a Workstation!

Thank you for the excellent analysis Michael! Well done!

You should look at this Wordpress blog on how to build Windows Server 2008 on laptops. I also suspect Hyper-V to be faster and erased my Dell XPS 1340 drive to make that happen.

At this point I don't even run VPC 07 or VS 05 because Hyper-V is my only place for virtual demos.
