Quite seriously I am. most of my life is spent building and running virtual machines, and often my Vista powered notebook with several external drives runs out of steam. With this in mind I'm looking for a hardware sponsor who would like to know how their kit runs using Windows server 2008 and Hyper-V and/or any other virtual environment at all, since I run most of them - laptop and all.

If a hardware vendor or OEM is interested, then I'll happily speak on their behalf on their hardware's performance and work with their technical team on feedback.

Ping me on nicolas dot blank at gmail dot com or nicolasb75 at hotmail dot com.
