Windows Server 2008 Virtualization

Microsoft's big next-generation virtualization beast has arrived and the speculation pours forth like wine.

With all this talk about virtualization darling VMware (its record quarter, its fawning suitors), we'd nearly forgotten there were other pretenders to the throne.

Said pretenders include Microsoft, which just began public trials of Hyper-V.

Hyper-V is the official name of Microsoft's long-awaited "Viridian" hypervisor, whose release has already been delayed a couple of times -- bumped from Q1 2007, to Q3, to nowheresville.

But according to Fortune, Hyper-V's software will appear in three editions (there will be eight) of Windows Server 2008, with the first public release slated for Q1 2008.

Windows Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter will include Hyper-V by default.
