I not talking about a vm

You cannot load v-center 4 on the phy server with windows 2008 R2 that need to be fixed first!

Are you suggesting all MS oem's use some other than VMware in the setup and testing environments ?

Puh-leez. WIndows7/2008R2 were RTM months ago, yet VMware pretends they were just "released" October 22. We still can't even run the stupid vCenter client on Win7 without a hack. VMware is sleeping at the wheel in regards to the new MS OS's, period.

Fair enough, but part of the problem is that (at least with Win7, not as much with 2008R2) network admins can't get their user base off of Vista and to Win7 fast enough. Normally when a new OS comes out, admins are cautious and really take their time... but Win7 is SO superior to Vista in every way that we want/need to run it NOW. Same goes for R2 and its new features. It just seems like vendors are taking their sweet time bringing support and haven't recognized this (admittedly unusual) rapid adoption of a new OS.

Hi PRP,

see this blog: http://vinternals.com/2009/10/virtual-hardware-7-bug-woeful-vmware-response/

with Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise I also having problem in installing SQL Server 2008 into the secondary pvSCSI hard disk but then i remove the SVGA driver and it seems to be OK for now.

Kind Regards,
AWT

There are millions of lines of code in a Windows OS. Probably closer to 100 million in R2. Microsoft dropped some 120,000 API calls in Vista. Do you remember how long it took companies to rewrite applications to make them work with Vista. You need to make sure you don't write yourself into a corner. That you can take care of the differences between different different versions of the OS. That a change in one place to support one OS doesn't break support for another. That it works with all your partners software, that it works with all your partners hardware and drivers. Will there be a spate of changes in the next month or two that obviate all your changes. Will Microsoft release a new version of dotnet that mean another rewrite. It just takes time.
