I know "Linux" is the popular alternative and garners most of the focus. However, is there going to be any effort to provide support for other alternative OS platforms such as BSD based ones, Solaris, or even research OS such as Plan 9?

Even if it doesn't make sense to provide actual prewritten binary integration components for these alternatives, documentation of interfaces that a homebrew driver would need to touch would be great!

I would note that this would be trumping the VMWare policy where they have stopped helping some of the more arcane platforms. So, it would be a feather in the MS cap if you can do better. :)

Of course, these alternative platforms would be "unsupported" which shouldn't be a big deal since you only support one commercial Linux distribution anyway.

+1 for enlightenments for *BSD and Solaris.

I can see support for Solaris would be desirable, but not too many people would worry about support for *BSD.

With the recent release of Hyper-V the big question is "Am I using the latest version?".

I just checked the Connect site to download the RC2 version and there's no download link any more. Does anyone know if there's a reason, or a link to download them from somewhere else?

Uh... I can't find it on Microsoft Connect.

There's no download link at https://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=495.

So, where is it? There isn't any download link at the Linux Integration Components connection.

+1 for Xen-enabled/paravirtualized Red Hat, OpenSolaris and FreeBSD.

Where are they?

It is quite frustrating to have all this press about the Integration Components for Linux and not be able to find where they are. It seems that a couple of days ago the link was taken off the Connect site and has not been reinstated.

Can I have a SCSI based disk when I install SLES 10 on a Hyper-V linux VM? I could not find any limitations mentioned regarding this, but my installation just doesn't recognize this vhd at all!

Thanks

Hi csdiedrich - can you post the contents of your /etc/fstab file? The IC installer doesn't make any changes to the CD/DVD-ROM drive settings, so I'm curious.

Thanks,

Mike Sterling

What gives? 8 months later and these still haven't been rereleased? Can someone email me at wes@lazara.org if you have these and can send them? This is ridiculous!

thanks,
