No comments on Hyper-V has 0xB16B00B5

Paolo Bonzini found something funny in the Linux kernel support code for Microsoft’s Hyper-V. There is a constant in the Linux integration drivers which gets passed through to the hypervisor and it called “0xB16B00B5” if you are common with the leetspeak you can read the words “BIG BOOBS”.

Now I always knew that there was another advantage of Hyper-V over VMware ;-)
