Microsoft Announces Hyper-V Server 2008

Submitted by Mike on Wed, 10/01/2008 - 15:43

When I did a Hyper-V Link Roundup a while back, I mentioned that one complaint about Hyper-V is that you actually have to own Server 2008 in order to use it. Not anymore.

Microsoft announced today (Wednesday) the release of Hyper-V Server 2008, a stand alone, bare metal virtualization product, and yes, it's free.

It’s been a standard strategy for many software vendors, to offer a free solution, and let the masses try it. Then when they want to purchase something, they will more than likely use your product, since they are already familiar with it.

5 Links to Opinions about Microsoft Hyper-V

Some people like the smell of new cars, and although I think that's fine and dandy, I like the smell of new computer hardware. With new hardware comes choices. I chose to use Windows 2008 64-bit, and I'm looking at doing a little server consolidation.

Now I have to choose a server Virtualization product. I never played much with Microsoft Virtual Server, and VMWare Server is OK, but I need something else.
