Microsoft has released the first of two betas planned for its Virtual Server 2005 R2 service pack 1 product. Virtual Server 2005 R2 service pack 1 will support AMD Virtualization and Intel Virtualization Technology, giving customers better interoperability, strengthened isolation to prevent corruption of one virtual machine from affecting others on the same system, as well as improved performance for non-Windows guest operating systems.

right, but just remember(*) what happened with IE, when microsoft finally killed netscape. Then take sides.
(*) in case you don't remember, MS has done nothing since they killed netscape, letting IE stagnate for what, like 6 years? considering that when they where the underdogs, they released, like what, 12 months? HINT, HINT.

Only because VMWare did it first, I smell the browser war all over again, except this time with VM's.
Microsoft had planned on giving this out long before the announcement came that VMWare was giving away some of their products. I saw Virtual Server several months before the VMWare announcement and the Microsoft engineers stated that it was going to be free and part of the OS.
If anything it's more likely VMWare that gave away it's products because of Microsoft, not the other way around.

VMWare creates virtualization software that lets you run multiple, isolated environments on a single or on multiple computers (cluster). Read more about VMWare here:

And it's not just for servers, even I use VMWare every day for testing different applications in different OSes, and trying out OS features.
