Windows 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.

I really think that Server 2008 is going to work better with Open Source enterprise apps than 2003 actually, if I am permited to write about it I will try that right after RC1 is released.


The easier way to avoid the problem is move to something like iFolder or NFSv4 to avoid the version/revision compatibility issues.

iFolders, NSFv4 and samba are not interchangeable products. They solve slightly different problems, and have different strengths weaknesses and features.

How is it different? smb and nfs are interchangeable. Use OpenLDAP, NFS and services for Unix on the Windows client, and voila, problems gone.
