I get the impression that the code in WS 8 that handles the usage of physical disks with a VM is a regression of what we had with earlier versions.
So far I noticed:
- "disk is in use" message in scenarios that were no problem with earllier versions - for me just trying to start the VM a few times helps.
For other users this seems to be the end of the story ...
- Horrible performance. factory new physical disks show write delays similar to very very fragmented and old snapshot trees

If you experience similar issues please post here.
I do not want to discuss details here - justy collect a list of the new problems with WS 8
Please also include a link to your original post - if there is one.
