Reading Time: 4 minutesAs written in a previous post, the nested virtualization will be one of the future features of Microsoft Hyper-V. Actually Microsoft simple does not support nested virtualization in its Hyper-V product. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s a case where not supported means also that it simple does not work at all.

Reading Time: 2 minutesEach year is the year of VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)… But it’s really true? Yes and no… VDI is just a part of the End User Computing (EUC) area: can solve several user cases, but not all. Other solutions will still exist and maybe also they are still growing, just because the entire EUC area is growing.
