WU-hoo! Only 12 Days to WU

It’s Christmas in July…

As you may have heard, Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V was released today, and is now available to download. July 8th will mark Hyper-V’s Release to Windows Update. You may remember when we released the first Hyper-V beta, it was right around Christmas. We’re bringing the joy of the holidays back to you with the “12 Days of Virt-Mas.”

 

And so, let’s make merry…

In celebration of the Hyper-V news, and as part of the “12 days of Virt-Mas” countdown to Hyper-V availability I, along with some of the other Hyper-V product managers, will be posting daily spotlights on specific features and benefits of Hyper-V technology beginning tomorrow. We might also throw in the occasional guest blogger or customer story (like Microsoft’s own deployment and results with Hyper-V as showcased today in Rob Emanuel’s guest blog and video) Because it’s virtualization, there’s no need to worry about any of us running out of things to share- it is the season of giving.

 

I’ll be back tomorrow to bring you the 1st day of “Virt-Mas.” Stay tuned…

Just wanted to let you know I did a brief video interview over on Virtualization.com with Arne Josefsberg, General Manager Online Infrastructure at Microsoft, about Hyper-V adoption in their own global datacenters.

He confirms to have been working with the Hyper-V and OS teams for over a year and is jazzed over the experience and Virtualization in general. Cheers, Toon
