The world according to Microsoft…

Super busy with a project right now, but while this .iso comes down from Microsoft I just had to post an observation…

Microsoft’s “Hyper-V” is their house-brand hypervisor for virtual machines, and in general it does what any virtual machine system does. But there’s always a weird Microsoft gotcha.

A Hyper-V VM has a few boot options: You can mount the host’s CD/DVD, you can virtually shove an .iso into a virtual device, and you can boot from a floppy.

But you simply cannot boot from USB.

Boot from a floppy — but not from USB; that’s so Microsoft. 🙂
