WTF?

Re: vSphere vs Hyper-V

MS makes their money with licensing in other ways, I assure you. ( like SQL Server; it's licensed for the number of logical cores on the host running the VM containing the SQL engine, even if that VM only has one logical CPU configured.) this is bad news if that single vCPU VM is running on a host with, oh, 56 logical cores...
