I also use hyper-v on my laptop that has 4GB of memory. I find it annoying that I have to shutdown my laptop each time I want to leave, especially if I need to leave in a hurry.

And since Hyper-V is so useful for many people who debug drivers and applications, how can they not see the need to have it on a laptop?

I find this annoying as well.

Now, if you could provide us with some type of system where we could only stop hyper-v, then hibernate, (possibly "sleeping" the vms), that would at least reduce some of the time I need to spend on shutdown/restart

Just bought a new notebook with 8 GB of RAM specifically to run Hyper-V, and now I find these posts that rather ruin my plans. While I can understand Microsoft's reasoning that the market wanting Hyper-V on a laptop today is small, it certainly seems short-sighted to me. So anyone have any comments on using the VMware workstation product instead? So far that seems viable to run VMs on a laptop from what I hear.
