Hyper-V is (the latest version) is really just Windows Server Core 2008 R2 with everything striped out except visualization. You can not create users you can't share folders etc. You will not be installing another version of windows on top of hyper-v as most people think you will be using hyper-v as the OS.
It has everything you need to do the mining without purchasing a Windows license.
The download is all the software installed on Hyper-v for you to do the mining all you need to do is install it on an HD or USB and boot it up.
The install onto a USB or HD will be difficult but worth it.
I will provide an application that will make that a simple processes in the future.

Lol, I LOVE the happy lady at the computer picture on the front page. I'm not sure if that is purposefully sarcastic and a jab at all of those tech companies that have similar images on their homepages, but it should be. 
Call me interested though, because I'm not a big linux fan.
Can you tell me more about Hyper-V? Why is it free? What Windows edition is it based on? And it says "You can install a virtual copy of Windows onto the Hyper-V server". Does that mean that Hyper-V is not a windows installation, it is just a platform for installing Windows on?

Looking for a Windows Based Solution for a Mine Server Farm? Use Hyper-V its free!!!
I have done a video showing off my server farm hashing away.
I'm new to this community of bitcoins but the second I heard of it I was hooked. I have a channel (Click here) on YouTube teaching people to save in gold and silver and one of my viewers asked me 2 months ago what I though about bitcoins. Today I am running a server farm so you can guess what I think. I'm a software developer and I will be doing a lot of work on bitcoins trying to make it big.
If you are looking to use Windows and don't want to pay for licences then use Hyper-V OS to run the mining software it's free!
Download your hyperv server farm for free (for now

Version 0.01 May 23.
May 26, 2011 Update: I have added instructions on how to deploy the VHD file to a USB.
This link will take you to a full download of an install of hyper-V. Just install it on a USB drive using the instructions here.
All the software needed to run your GPU mining farm is preinstalled and ready to rumble. There is even a menu to add and delete miners that will auto start when the computer boots up.
