Agree. This is a huge miss for Microsoft. Data-DeDuplication missing from 2019 Hyper-V Server really lowers the value of the product.

Disk dedup should be included. Proxmox seems to be able to so it makes Hyper-V less capable than the competition.
It also makes it more expensive to operate since I now can't have as many VM:s on the same storage volume and having to pay for enterprise to virtualize linux VM:s? Well that doesn't quite compute either
