Hello,

I am also (very) interested in running FreeBSD under HyperV since HyperV will
liberate itself from Windows Server soon after the final release (it will not depend
on an preliminary Windows Server installation but will be "standalone" and
practically free of charge, which makes it (for me) a very interesting solution).

I've heard that it works (at least boots) with 8-CURRENT. Are there plans to
include support for FreeBSD 7.x branch too? That would be really cool. Yes, I
know, patches are welcome.

Thanks,
Nejc
