Hyper-V drivers to be out of the Linux kernel 2.6.33?

Greg Kroah-Hartman filled in a complain and a thread to Microsoft about the Hyper-V drivers they gave to the open source community to be included in the Linux kernel.
The complain was about no cooperation of Microsoft to help making the drivers "kernel-comaptible".
Cause of the many errors in the code, there were over 200 patches to make the code kernel-ready.
However after requests of Greg Kroah-Hartman to Microsoft he got zero response. Cause of this, Greg wrote that the Hyper-V drivers may get out the kernel again cause of no support for the drivers. Microsoft reacted after this thread and if all goes well the Hyper-V drivers may stay in  the Linux Kernel.

The Hyper-V drivers should cause the Linux virtual machine preform better under Hyper-V.
The drivers are getting into kernel 2.6.32, but if no support is offered it may get out of it in kernel 2.6.33.
To be continued
