Jonathan Hassell: Yesterday afternoon, Microsoft released its virtualization product, Hyper-V, to manufacturing. Previously, the company had promised to make a production-supported version of Hyper-V available to Windows Server 2008 customers within 180 days of the official release of the operating system itself. By releasing Hyper-V in late June, Microsoft beat its self-imposed deadline by about a month, although delivering less than was originally promised.
There have been public release candidates available since early this year. In this piece, I'll take a look specifically at the release-to-manufacturing, or RTM, edition, noting improvements and changes.
