The Windows Server Virtualisation team announced an update to release schedules yesterday. The public beta of Windows Server Virtualisation (Longhorn Hypervisor) will be in H2 2007 and not H1 as previously announced. SP11 for Virtual Server 2005 R2 will be released in Q2 2007 and not Q1 as previously announced – wow …. that’s great considering we’re already in Q2 🙂
The Longhorn Virtualistion product is being delayed because MS is making is more scalable, i.e. it will support 64 CPU’s in a host server.
