Is it possible to install Hyper-V server on a windows 7 client? Right now
I'm running windows server 2008 Rs configured as a work station and overall
its great. the 1 main reason why I', using Win 08 R2 as a work station is
because I need to use Hyper-V. However, there are a few programs that will
not run on a server because of licensing issues and in particular, my
backup program which I like very much jumps from about $50 to $1500 just to
get it to run on the server OS. Is there any way I can run Hyper-V on a
win7 os?

Thanks.

No. Hyper-V will only run on the Server OS.

Thanks Ace!

I was very dissatisfied with Virtual PC and Virtual Server 2005 which is why
I moved to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V. Obviously I don't need to
manage VMs in the way an enterprise would, but I do need a good way to
manage about 10+ VMs for software development. Ease of setup, undoing or
restoring to previous VM configurations after doing a test install, coping a
base VM to a new VM and creating a new SID, etc. is much easier in Hyper-V.
Has this been improved in Virtual PC for windows 7?

Well, kind of a little better to manage multiple machines with the VMRC.
Take a look at the following links for more info. I think you will like it.

Download details: Virtual Machine Remote Control Client Plus ...Jun 17, 2008
....
VMRCplus is a tool for both configuration management of Virtual Server and
.... VMRCplus should be used with Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1.
http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/details.aspx?familyid=80ADC08C-BFC6-4C3A-B4F1-772F550AE791&displaylang=en

Manage Virtual Server Machines with VMRC PlusAs some of you know, a few
Microsoft employees have been spotted working with a cool tool called VMRC
Plus, which is an improved version of the VMRC client.
