Microsoft Hyper-V is also giving neck-to-neck competition to VMware and corporate's are rapidly adopting dual hypervisor strategies, that is the reason to start learning another hypervisor. being bi-lingual will help you in standing-out from the crowd.

However, I was able to accumulate only 62 questions, but Hyper-V is not at all limited to above questionnaire. It is so vast and ever expanding, so please take above set of interview questions as an example ONLY and don't limit your knowledge to above mentioned questions.
While creating today's blog entry, I got acquainted with a site www.techiebird.com, this site is great and focuses only on interview preparation, and it is not at all limited to Windows platform, but also caters virtualization, linux, network, SQL and Exchange.Disclaimer- Don't held me responsible, if you fail any Hyper-V interview, after reading above questions. Also, refer Microsoft Technical Documentation for updated and correct information.
