How it got its name
You said that Hyper-V's predecessor was Virtuozoo. Do you think that Hyper-V got its name because of its predecessors name? I have always wondered why they call it that.Originally Posted by Admin

Nope. Virtuozzo is a Software virtualization application which is a product of Parallels, whereas, Hyper-V is a Hardware virtualization application which is a product of Microsoft. The only similarity between them is that they are virtualization applications and everything apart from this is different i.e. the technology, the functioning and the features offered are different from each other.
Hence, they are not concerned with each other and Virtuozzo cannot be called as a predecessor of Hyper-V.
