re: Feedback Needed from IT Pro’s

Hi Jeff,

I just wanted to pass some feedback back to you about one of my biggest concerns for Microsoft in Australia – HyperV.

To be honest, there is very little marketing being done here in Australia with regards to Hyper-V. Most CIO’s and CTO’s completely dismiss it as a viable option simply because they perceive the competition to be much more feature rich and mature.

Additionally, I attended an HP event recently (Technology @ Work) where a Microsoft staff member was speaking about Hyper-V and it was a complete disaster (I have no idea who it was). The speaker kept going on tangents and the audience (including myself along with a handful of co-workers) was totally lost with the message that was trying to be conveyed.

I have some ideas on how to better market Hyper-V and also some technology improvements which should make it a better product. I would be very interested in speaking with you about these.

Thanks and Regards,

Phil Persson
