Where is Hyper-V Server 2019?!
Well after waiting month and month for Hyper-V 2019 to be available again I've given up! Microsoft doesn't bother to update us on the situation and expects us to idly sit by and cross our fingers it will one day come out.
Once again Microsoft treat us like idiots, So after 6 months of waiting and no updates i took thhe leap and decided to spend the cash and purchase VMware ESXi and I have too say despite the cost this has been the best decision i've ever made! It's great to finally deal with a company that actually knows what they're doing and has a high regard to 2 things Microsoft has sadly forgotten about, that being 1.) Quality Control and 2.) Customer Service.
I couldn't be happier with my purchase and highly advise everyone out there to make the switch hif you can afford it, you will not be dissapointed. Also VMware don't use their own customers as guinea pigs to test their new software.
This is the current quality of expertise at Microsoft - I opened up a live chat to Microsoft the other day and enquired about Hyper-V 2019. The online technician advised me that he was not familiar with that product and as such Microsoft does not support it. I asked him "Who is the company that makes Hyper-V?" I gave him 4 minutes before i decided to tell him the answer was Microsoft. I thought to myself this is silly, so opened up another live chat and sadly that was the same response I reveived from Microsoft expert #2.
What a joke! Microsoft has gone downhill the last few years, its a joke and the faster a competing desktop operating system can come out the better.

What a joke!!!
Yeah, totally pathetic. We know the products better than their own people.
I just gave-up since 2019 has a bug to not allow Remote Desktopping in, and went back to Hyper-V 2016 Server. And Im happy for now.

About the time we were getting ready to re-release Windows Server 2019 after the October recall, a new issue was discovered affecting only the HYPER-V media which prevented us from re-releasing it along with the rest of the Windows Server 2019 media. We have a fix and are working on getting the media validated and published as quickly as we can. We recognize that this is a pain point for our customers and apologize for the delay.

Any update on an ETA for Hyper-V 2019 ISO? Any chance it is dropping very soon as I can't reach the Evalcenter site at all today?
Thanks.
Edit: Eval site is back up for me again.
