TS: Thanks for your questions. Regarding timing and version details for preinstalled drivers, we’re in active discussions with various stakeholders and are also looking for community feedback, so your thoughts are much appreciated. Regarding your second comment, we are currently in the process of doing exactly what you are suggesting. In addition, the Linux hyper-V drivers (and the support for various distributions) are officially released, and you can provide feedback here social.technet.microsoft.com/.../threads

Chris: Currently we do not enable the VSS integration service in the driver, but this is something we are looking at in the future. We appreciate the feedback – thank you.

One more thing: it is probably better to build Hyper-V 2012 support right into FreeBSD 9.x kernel so that users can just install it and boom, it just works. Much like how Ubuntu 12.04LTS includes Hyper-V intergration in its releases.

Please work with the FreeBSD developers who are busy pushing out FreeBSD 9.1 right now, and see if you can push your code into FreeBSD 9.1 production release. That would be awesome if Hyper-V 2012, Ubuntu 12.04.1LTS and FreeBSD 9.1 all arrive together and work together without manual intervention.

Why are they avoiding the obvious and not supporting redhat?

Please extend support of FreeBSD 8.3 and FreeBSD 9.1(currently beta, but production release probably be the same time as Windows Server 2012) on Hyper-V 2012. Also Ubuntu 12.04.1LTS should also be properly supported.

Thanks
