Microsoft to Make Virtual Server Free | |
|
||
| Time: 11:05 EST/16:05 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: John Quigley | ||

Microsoft has a big surprise planned for not just those of its own customers using virtualization, but for those in the open-source community as well. On April 3, the Redmond, Wash., software giant will use the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in Boston to announce that it is making its Virtual Server 2005 R2 Enterprise Edition product available as a free download from the Microsoft Web site. Until now, Microsoft has sold the software, which was released in December 2005, at a suggested retail price of $199. The Standard Edition, which used to cost $99, is being dropped and will no longer be available | ||

| This isn't really surprising, considering that VMWare ESX Server was made free a few months ago (to compete better with Microsoft's offering). The only question now is whether Microsoft decided to make theirs free because VMWare's is free or whether VMWare caught wind that Microsoft was planning this and decided to beat them to it. |

| ESX Server is not free - GSX server is |
