Bill,
What your saying is that the virtual guest will run directly on the hardware
provided by the host. As this is almost the case with 2008 Hyper-V, it is not
the case for VS 2005.
Please, can you provide any MS documentation, white papers, test scenariors
etc. that can confirm what your saying?
We are facing similar issues the ones described earlier in this thread, so
anything to narrow it down would be high appreciated..
