Who said anything about using it as your main OS? Or tearing down a server
to try it? Ever heard of a partition?
I guess I don't know the particular VM program you have, but does it allow you to use 100% of your CPU and RAM to fully test the OS?
I'm just saying, don't be so quick to bash it before you really try it.
Sounds like your mind was made up before they even announced it.
I have a quad core processor and 4 gigs of RAM. I can dedicate two cores and 2 gigs of RAM to a VM, and then the VM just runs on a virtual layer of hardware, which is your hardware. It is not like it performs worse, except maybe in heavy 3D applications. Plus Virtual Hard disks are small disks that are dynamic (expand when needed to) which are a specified section of your hard disk, making seek time super fast. In fact a virtual hard disk may perform better than a regular disk since the seek time is generally a lot faster.
I am not bashing it, I am simply saying it isn't the best thing since sliced bread, and it still does not give the average user incentive to upgrade their OS.
