As one of the people that downvoted the Hyper-V question, I echo voretaq7. He had asked an [earlier question][1] and was told he was approaching the issue with a non-ideal solution and was given various other suggestions on how to better proceed. Rather than taking the advice, he basically posted the [followup][2] indicating that he had not taken any of the advice and forged ahead with a bad design and got stuck and asked for help again. The honest part of me said I couldn't close it as a duplicate because it technically is related but not a duplicate. Had this been his first question on the issue, I would not have downvoted it (as evidence: I didn't down vote his first question) but worked to show up the other alternatives. But his past questions and lack of following the sound advice given led to my downvoting his followup question.
