As VMware steps into the virtualization limelight in San Francisco at its VMworld conference Sept. 11, Microsoft is trying to steal some of that thunder by making a number of announcements of its own. Microsoft is announcing that it plans to deliver the first release candidate of Windows Server 2008 later this month. The first Community Technology Preview of Windows Server Virtualization, code-named Viridian, will be released at the same time, Larry Orecklin, Microsoft's general manager of marketing for System Center, said at a media event Sept. 10.

Will WS 2008 come out just in time to steal the thunder of Samba 4? Samba 4 will enable users to setup an Active Directory commpatible server - ie., operate in a WS 2003 environment (including being the Primary Domain Controller). I assume WS 2008 will introduce just enough incompatibility to SMB and AD to cause Samba 4 users to again be behind the times with Microsoft's current server line. On the other hand, maybe the Samba folks are already following this and will be able to fulfill the role of a 2008 server. Just wondering!
