Windows Server 2008 Release Candidate 0 Ready for Customer Review | |
|
||
| Time: 16:59 EST/21:59 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Microsoft has reached another milestone with the initial Release Candidate (RC0) of the highly anticipated Windows Server 2008 operating system, now available for download. Now customers and partners can download and test-drive the latest development version of Windows Server 2008 for themselves. Packed with new features, Windows Server 2008 provides customers with the most versatile and reliable Windows platform yet. Technological advancements, such as server and presentation virtualization capabilities, Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0, Server Core, PowerShell, Network Access Protection, Server Manager, and enhanced networking and clustering technologies provide customers with a security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform. All of these feature improvements provide customers with the most integrated Windows solution to date. For example, IIS 7.0, Microsoft’s platform for developing and reliably hosting Web applications and services, is experiencing strong customer momentum, with more than 13 hosting companies offering IIS 7.0 and more than 1,200 customers who have deployed it via the GoLive license.

Hooray!! Can't wait to play with WSV. Still shows Beta 3 on the eval page, though. :(
[Update]The link now says: Note: Windows Server 2008 Release Candidate 0 will be available here shortly. This post was edited by bluvg on Monday, September 24, 2007 at 18:40. |

Windows Server 2008 includes a thin (under a megabyte), hypervisor-based software virtualization layer
Holy moly... under 1 MB. VMware says ESX 3i is 32 MB. |

Why? Those are the quoted stats for the hypervisors. It may be a bit of apples and oranges, but they both put other layers upstream from the hypervisor.
At any rate, the size of the hypervisor doesn't really matter to me; I'm mostly interested in how WSV performs relative to ESX. They still have a long ways to go on the management and features side to catch up to VMware, though. |
