James O'Neill: There are 3 things I get asked regularly about Hyper-V. The first is "When can I get it ?". I've covered this before, the product group have committed to ship by August 2nd, and I've thought for a while that they're looking good to beat that. At MMS Bob Muglia said how pleased we were with performance and we're running the main Technet and MSDN sites on Hyper-V already. Question 2 is "Can you compare X with feature Y in VMware ?". And the third is "Will I be able to move my VMs from X to the release version of Hyper-V ?". Where X might be Virtual PC, Virtual Server, Pre-release Hyper-V, or VMWare. So let's go over the basic rules.
