  Microsoft customers gravitate to its Hyper-V software
Time: 23:49 EST/04:49 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft Corp. appears well positioned to gain Hyper-V virtualization software users from among its existing customers, judging from the comments of attendees at the company's virtualization launch party today.

Amazon.com Inc. is one company testing Hyper-V. So far, it is running two virtual servers, one as a testbed and one live, said Joe Stewart, a hardware developer at Seattle-based Amazon.com, speaking from the show floor.

Stewart said he looked at virtualization software from other providers, including VMware Inc., but he has settled on Hyper-V, in part because he has found that applications generally work best when running on virtualization software made by the same vendor. Since Amazon.com relies heavily on Microsoft, Hyper-V is likely to work the best, he said.
