Early this morning, Bob Ward of Microsoft PSS SQL Support fame authored a post on the PSS Support blog entitled "SQL Server Support in a Hardware Virtualization Environment". As always, Bob's comments are helpful. In the post, he clarifies and elaborates on Microsoft's official position on support for a SQL Server system in a Virtualized environment.

I normally just twitter interesting links such as this, however given all of the questions and uncertainty of virtualization recently, I thought this on warranted its own blog post, too.

Here's the link - http://blogs.msdn.com/psssql/archive/2008/10/08/sql-server-support-in-a-hardware-virtualization-environment.aspx
