So! This time has come!
I will switch my virtual enviroment from Vmware to Windows Server 2012 + Hyper-v. I’m tired because of ESXi leak of RAM and CPU and unaviability to check a lot of health statements of my tower.
If you are interested in this, grab y’r popcorn and check my tag “VMvsHyperV” in blog to watch my struggle!
Let the battle begins!
