Windows Clustering and I have had a sorded past. Here's a quote on my own personal history from my recent book on Server 2008:

Have you ever despised a technology because you got burned by recommending it? Back many, many years ago I found myself recommending Windows clustering as a solution for making my company’s file server highly redundant. At the time Windows wolfpack clustering was one of those Most Neat & Cool new features just asking to get implemented. But clustering back then had its quirks, and when our temperamental cluster installation actually decreased our uptime…significantly…I found myself hating it. After getting called into the CIO’s office to explain the gravity of the situation in relation to my continued employment, we eventually “de-clustered” our cluster and didn’t look back for many years. My running joke for a long time was, “as the company expert in Windows clustering, I recommend you don’t use Windows clustering.”

That being said, I'm particularly excited about some of the ways in which Server 2008 stabilizes what I've historically believed was an unstable "high availability" solution.

Setting up clusters has also traditionall been a pain, a process that also gets better with Server 2008. Now, I hear that Hyper-V arrives as a cluster-aware application too. I might have to eat my words.

I read an excellent step-by-step document recently showing you how to configure a WSFC cluster using Hyper-v...
