I'm constantly amazed by how far off people get when trying to determine Windows licensing. The threads are constant and while it might be hard to get it absolutely right, and certainly there are times it is somewhat confusing, the things that people come up with are ridiculous.
Like 2016 core licensing, it's really not very hard, it's exactly like before except now we measure cores rather than CPUs and the minimum numbers have changed. That's it. That's IT. Nothing new, nothing weird, nothing that isn't obvious and expected. It makes absolute sense and requires no retraining.
And yet people go off into lala land thinking about it and suddenly think that either licensing is going to be 100x more expensive than it is currently or that suddenly they get unlimited use practically for buying nothing.
How do people get so weird about this stuff?

Because they don't have someone slapping them in the back of the head as they head down the insanity path.

@scottalanmiller Eh, people get nervous when spending a lot of money. At least they had the foresight to find people who know instead of just ordering it like we've seen before.

That, or they have 5 or 6 other people dragging them headlong down the insanity path.

@scottalanmiller I've never liked their licensing model, it's setup ahead of time to purposely make people confused and/or non-compliant. It's seriously just silly easy to have a service that checks usage against available licenses. Having seen it done right (I-DEAS back in 1998), it's so annoying seeing these other types of licensing models that so many vendors use.

Some of their models are hard, their server one is not. It's super simple. Maybe not RH simple, but very simple. I don't like it for other reasons - like you still have to game it a lot and I don't like licensing that causes weird gaming. But it is what it is.

@scottalanmiller yeah Microsoft Server running on a USB or SD card is not for the faint of heart LOL!
Well Hyper-V is not Windows. It's supposed to be FAR more lean and is designed to run this way, they officially shipped it that way for Dell and HPE.
I have never saw this proven. I have heard it said a lot. I have never been given proof.
Officially, there was never a supported path for Hyper-V server 2012 / 2012 R2 on USB or flash. The only thing people point to is a unsupported methods on technet.
I would love it if this is changed for 2016.
As far as I can tell, it has not. I wrestled with Hyper-V 2016 and a USB drive for an entire day, no love.
