Ben Armstrong: Generally speaking I try to pretend that the rest of the Internet does not exist, and just happily talk about my technology. However when I find members of my own team confused about statements made on others blogs / news sites I guess I am compelled to set the record straight.
You may be wondering what I am talking about - well recently a blog post was made (and picked up on) that stated:
"With the Xen based live migration and Microsoft Quick Migration they do not perform the check and so you can actually do the migration but your app and your OS may die as a result."
Where the "check" being mentioned is whether the source and target processor are compatible or not. And the issue being discussed is migrating virtual machines from Intel to AMD processors (and vice versa).
