New features in Hyper-V

As a feature available in early versions of R2, dynamic memory is one of the things I’ve missed the most in Hyper-V. And obviously I’m not the only one because now Microsoft announces that it’s time to implement it. This means more VM’s on your hosts and soon the “you can’t overcommit memory like you can in VmWare”-days are over.

RemoteFX is another new feature that’ll be implemented, I won’t go into detail on that one because Brian Madden has already done that in this article. But now VDI can finally be for heavier workloads than Excel!
