Microsoft is expected to announce on June 26 that its Hyper-V hypervisor technology has been released to manufacturing, according to testers claiming familiarity with the company’s plans.
Microsoft delivered the final release of Windows Server 2008 product on February 4. That release included a non-feature-complete beta of Hyper-V, the virtualization technology formerly codenamed “Viridian.” Microsoft said it would ship the final Hyper-V code within six months after it released Windows Server 2008. If my sources are right, Microsoft handily beat its own RTM goal.
(I’ve asked Microsoft for confirmation on source reports that Hyper-V is ready to RTM. So far, no word back.)
