HyperV

I run windows server 2008 R2 to enable Hyper-V and I run it off a VHD.  As well I run Windows 7 x64 from another VHD.  So I can boot into either environment depending on what I need.  Also I can simply backup my machine in whole by just copying the VHD's to a backup drive.  I backup my code with SVN, and host my own SVN server on a colo machine I have.  That is backed up as well.  So I am covered in case of problems.  Well expect when I run out of hard drive space! I actually ran...

So one of my clients is using a product for social networking on Linux.  Wait, why is a SharePoint developer working on a project like that to begin with?  Well, the client wants to integrate the two, WSS to be specific, and their other product.

The workaround, was to bridge connections from my wireless and the virtual adapter, and things work out pretty well. Also,...

Also, sometimes I need special flavors of SharePoint or SQL server to match a client implimentation.I keep a vm of Windows 7 as well, which I...
