A new release of Hyper-V Linux Integration components is now available. The highlight of this release is that it is compatible with Hyper-V RC0, and it also contains some bug fixes. The Linux Integration components for Hyper-V is still in Beta and you download them from Microsoft Connect Website at http://connect.microsoft.com
Fedora 8 installs on Hyper-V without any issue and with a Legacy Network Adapter, you do not really have to install the integration components to make it work. Legacy Network Adapter can be added to a guest machine from 'Settings > Add Hardware' option in Hyper-V manager.
However, without the Integration Components, the hard disk performance will be pretty bad. There is also a severe mouse issue especially if you are using the Hyper-V connection over Remote Desktop.
With the Integration components still in Beta, Hyper-V is far from being a reliable platform for Linux virtualization.
Lets hope this will change soon. At least being able to install Ubuntu will be great!
