Why would I retract it when I also added the details in the posts below:

the fact that you even call attention to this video, and keep this blog post up without a retraction, is disturbing, and really diminishes your credibility.

Name calling?

At least you’ve got a sense of humor… On the objectivity topic, there’s a new article coming up.

@#10: Eh… So now that we seen through your obvious bias you resort to name calling?

I hadn’t heard of this site before but there’s absolutely no reason for me to return now, knowing that you’re anything but objective.

Wow, really? I’m really impressed by mr Sherlock Holmes who discovered who posted the video. (The username and the following article might have revealed it I think: http://communities.vmware.com/blogs/drummonds/2009/05/06/video-on-hyperv-crashes )

Here’s Microsoft’s statement to this issue:

Scott Drummond is a VMware guy – interesting.

And the issue seems to have to do with Intel or AMD errata – a BIOS update should provide newer CPU microcode.

I guess any question of impartiality, along with your credibility, has just flown out of one of those crashing windows….

Clearly FUD. If it wasn’t, you would’ve mentioned the fact that this occurred during the tremendous demand generated by the release of Windows 7 RC on Technet and MSDN.

They might release the info, I don’t know about that… again I’m just reposting this stuff. I didn’t make it up.

If it’s reality there’s no reason whatsoever he had to skip posting ANY pertinent information for other people to duplicate his issue. The fact is it ISN’T reality.

Hyper-V doesn’t just randomly crash on “consolidated workloads”. Anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes with the product can tell you that. I can make VM’s crash left and right on ESX if I set it up the right (wrong) way as well. Does that mean I should post up a video proclaiming ESX is only fit for crashing VM’s on a consolidated workload?

If you want to pick on MS, there’s plenty of legitimate reasons to do so.
