Here is a list of Channel 9 staff members.
Virtualization
Feb 21, 2006 at 11:01 AMDave works in the same organization as the VM team. He is primarily focused on the Windows kernel development, but does provide input on the hypervisor and the virtualization strategy.
Virtualization
Feb 21, 2006 at 10:59 AMVirtual PC and Virtual Server both support saving and restoring VMs and have since their first release.
Live migration is currently a planned feature for the Windows hypervisor based systems.
Virtualization
Feb 16, 2006 at 7:14 AMIf the emulator is standard user mode code, it should work fine in a VM.
Virtualization
Feb 15, 2006 at 6:15 PMWe use a hierarchy model for management of VMs. There is a parent partition that has control over its child partitions. In v1 on the hypervisor we will keep this simple with a root and children, but in future versions we may open this up to have multiple parents and a deeper hierarchy.

Virtualization
Feb 15, 2006 at 2:14 PMAll of the enlightenments are being done in the regular kernel for LHS. The kernel detects the presence of the hypervisor and dynamically uses the enlightenments where they make sense. No need for a custom HAL.
Virtualization
Feb 15, 2006 at 10:57 AMThe hypervisor technology for LHS produces a full virtual machine to run a separate instance of the OS and is more like Virtual Server in that regard.
Virtuozzo is more like the Solaris Zones concept of running just virtualized user mode components and is also an interesting approach if you don't need a full isolated instance of the OS.
