Things are heating up in the hypervisor and virtualization software space with Microsoft's release of the Hyper-V within Windows Server 2008 and adding VMware support to Microsoft System Center products. (The standalone Hyper-V release is a few months out.) My son Phill is working with Windows Server 2008 and has a lot of good things to report about it. Embedding Hyper-V technology into the Server 2008 operating systems is clearly Microsoft's Trojan horse strategy to seed its virtualization technology into Microsoft shops and help displace VMware. Microsoft isn't making it any easier on VMware by adding support for 3rd party virtualization products in System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
