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.

is one of the coolest features of Windows server. It is a true lightweight hypervisor based virtualization for the most heavyweight server needs. Well ok may not the most heavyweight servers in the first release but it's ability to provide true SMP support to virtual machines, a new virtual bus based device IO model seems very cool and I think would provide better performance than competing vmware and xen.
