Do You Run Your Dev Environment Using Boot to VHD

4/27/2010 11:20:51 PM

I am sure many of you have heard of Boot to VHD using Windows 7 and/or Windows Server 2008 R2.  If not, check out this Bing search for reference material.  The resource I have yet to stumble across is the best way to set up your environment if you want to take advantage of this great technology.  How big should my VHD be?  Should I have a base image and the diff VHDs for different environments?  Is there an optimal way to configure Windows 7 and Office to maximize performance and productivity?  What’s the best way to setup my machine if I have an SSD?  The list goes on….

I have my own ideas, and I have solicited input from some of the local Microsoft Hyper-V wonks for their insights, but I still feel like I am walking in the woods alone.  Anyone have any insights, experiences, recommendations?  If so, drop me an email or post a comment.  I’ll collect the info and publish what we come up with.  Eventually, maybe a Wiki or something…
