Microsoft details virtualization plans | |

SAN FRANCISCO--Microsoft on Wednesday detailed changes to its Virtual Server plans, announcing it will shift its next update of the software from a maintenance release to a paid upgrade. The Redmond, Wash.-based software maker, which had earlier announced plans to issue a service pack for Virtual Server 2005, said it will instead release a product in the fourth quarter of this year known as Virtual Server 2005 R2. Microsoft said the new version, already in beta testing, will offer improvements to performance and availability. "There are a number of new features in the product we're introducing that make this much more full featured and robust...than a service pack," Microsoft group program manager Mark Kieffer said in a presentation at the Intel Developer Forum here. Next year, the company will issue another, larger update to the Virtual Server product, Microsoft said. A beta version of that update is planned for the first half of the year and a final release slated for the second half of 2006. | ||

| With EMC's VM Ware kicking Microsoft's butt, a paid release of Virtual Server 2005 isn't a smart idea. Until it can compete head to head with VM Ware's product they need to keep issuing service packs. |
