Limitations
Known limitations of Virtual Server, as of September 2007, include the following:
- Although Virtual Server 2005 R2 can run on hosts with x86-64 processors, it cannot run x64 guests that require x86-64 processors (guests cannot be 64-bit).
- It also makes use of SMP, but does not virtualize it (it does not allow guests to use more than 1 CPU each).
- Performance may suffer due to the way the instruction set is virtualized in this platform, with very limited direct interaction with the host hardware.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“The limitations of pleasure cannot be overcome by more pleasure.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
