Re: Why Hyper-V is a non-starter in all situations
"the up time is 3, 4, 5 years"
And you think this somehow makes you a good administrator because you've ignored security patching and maintenance for 5 years? Time to grow up a bit kid. Uptime is not impressive, secure and stable systems are the goal and staying current with firmware and patches is the only way to achieve that sensibly. Anyone with experience will tell you that firmware will often prevent outages. Disk SMART updates often pre-fail disks from known bad batches to prevent downtime and data loss. Drivers must match firmwares, and software must match drivers. I've seen many a system fail because a driver was changes and not the firmware, and many vulnerabilities left open due to unmatched systems which led to malware spreading like wildfire. You may have been lucky so far, but you most certainly are not a good admin if you ignore patches for 5 years.
