Re: Hyper-V support?

I've had no problems running up a virtual server with Ubuntu Server 12.04 on Hyper-V from scratch, and that just worked straight out of the box. A previous versions (10.04) needed a quick tweak once base install was done to get networking going, but with 12.04 there were no issues at all.

Don't get the need for 3G-enabled tablets

Surely the vast majority of people would (like myself) use their phone as a WiFi hotspot for their WiFi-only tablet device on the very very rare occasion they're out and about and desperately need internet connectivity on it...? I for one would much rather do that than have yet another contract to pay for, especially as there's no difference in the speed of connection I do get / would get.
