Hyper-V's current security is dependent upon the security of Windows 2008 Server. Sounds like a hosted solution to me, even though Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor—which is designed to run on bare metal and therefore be completely independent of the operating system itself.
So why does Hyper-V depend on Windows 2008 Server security? What zero-day attacks will cause heart-ache for all adopters? Can they be prevented?
And which boots first? If it is Hyper-V, then 2008 should run within a VM, but does it? If Windows 2008 Server crashes or is forced to crash by something malicious, will all the VMs running upon it also come tumbling down?
