    So, time for the inevitable questions --

    1) Can we install Vail in a Hyper-V R2 VM as a guest?

    2) Can we finally join it to a domain for those of us with existing home domains....please?

    1. You should be able to. However, as it is in beta, it may or may not work.

    2. No.

    What about using Microsoft's Hyper V on the base os can that component be added to run virtual machines, or would virtual server or vmware server still be the answer?

    Installing Windows Home Server in a virtualized machine will likely be unsupported. It may work for you, it may not. If you're expert with Hyper-V, VMWare, etc. you should be able to figure out any issues.

    I expect it to work, however.

    if that was directed to me I was wondering is the WHS can be a Virtual machine host.  I do it currently with WHS1 and Vmware server.

    Was hoping to be able to install Hyper V on Vail to run my vms.

    Microsoft has invested a lot into virtualizing its internal test environments, and a significant share of our testing occurs on virtual machines. At the moment I cannot make any comments about whether it will be a supported configuration or not, but running Vail as a HyperV guest has worked just fine for quite some time now.

    Cool! Good to know, Bulat. Or at least to have out in the open (I've never believed in huge rooms filled with racks of PCs for testing :) ).

    I have it running in ESXi 4.0 (It's free BTW) with 2 Virtual CPU's 2GB of memory and 2 160GB drives, and one Intel E1000 Virtual NIC.

    It works flawless and took about 30minutes to install.

    When it came up I installed the VMTools which also installed fine.  I was able to go into the console and add the 2nd disk to the pool.

    Remember Vail is a 64Bit OS so your Host must be able to support 64Bit OS's.  I know ESX 4.0, and Hyper-V support 64Bit Guest machines, not sure about any others.
