I am sure many of you have been looking for a comprehensive comparison between VMware ESX 4.0 & MS Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V.  I am sure you have found plenty of them with one problem they all were mostly sponsored by one of the vendors. Many of us were ready for a real independent comparison. If you were, then I have a great news for you. ITComparison.com has just released an updated version of their famous Hyper-V & VMware comparison. If you are in a rush just go and check it out at: VMware ESX 4.0 vs MS Hyper-V R2.

I can tell you there was a huge effort to put this comparison together. I have been invited to lead the project of updating the comparison, as I was highly involved in the original version. It was not an easy task, when you have 10 Virtualization Experts with different background arguing the whole day about who is better. Agreeing on every single field has took a great time, but at end it has been decided according to how it work on the ground.  It took us a month to get it online, & we hope it will be helpful for you.
