Important Update Released on 8/24 for you Hyper-V laptop users

First things first.  Hyper-V isn’t supported on laptops.  However, a lot of you run a variety of products that work well enough. Windows Server 2008 R2 of course includes the Hyper-V role and I’ve been running this for years now on the Lenovo ThinkPad T61p. 

For those of you that have moved to an Intel i5 or i7 based laptop, you may have encountered the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD.  A previous hotfix was available for manual download and installation.

Fortunately there is a new update rollup on the update.microsoft.com servers that will automatically flow to your servers if you let it. KB2264080 is now available and I plan to test it next week on a clean install with my Lenovo ThinkPad W510.
