I know, I know, Who is going to have a wireless card even close to there data center? The answer, no one. But you may find yourself wanting to create, test, and verify VHD’s while on the road or away from the server. Hyper-V does not natively support using Wireless Cards as they are un-likely to be used in production environments, that said it is still possible.

A friend of mine works for on command, the TV channel stuff in hotels. He was recently told (this my be a rumor) that Apple has filed with the FCC to release a Home Media Server. As I said this may be a Rumor but it came to him in an in house memo. Who knows? Is apple trying to compete with Microsoft’s Home Server 08′ Platform? Who Knows? May be rumor…. But imagine the possibilities.
Update:
Some people on Digg were saying nay towards this rumor, asking ” Why would they need to file with the FCC?” I asked my source today and he replied, ” The reason they need to file is because everything will be streaming “wireless” and they needed to file because of the white noise that would be created by this service” I hope this sheds some light on this rumor.
