Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 Goes Free 
<http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/default.mspx>
On April 3, Microsoft announced that Virtual Server 2005 R2 Enterprise Edition 
will become available as a free download. You can use Virtual Server to create 
a robust virtualization environment for your production server consolidation, 
to support disaster recovery and high availability scenarios, and to 
consolidate mixed workloads including Linux guest operating systems. 

Introduction
In conjunction with Windows Server 2003, Virtual Server 2005 R2 provides a 
virtualization platform that runs most major x86 operating systems in a guest 
environment, and is supported by Microsoft as a host for Windows Server 
operating systems and Windows Server System applications. Virtual Server 2005 
R2's comprehensive COM API, in combination with the Virtual Hard Drive (VHD) 
format and support for virtual networking, provide administrators complete 
scripted control of portable, connected virtual machines and enable easy 
automation of deployment, and ongoing change and configuration. 

Additionally, its integration with a wide variety of existing Microsoft and 
third-party management tools allows administrators to seamlessly manage a 
Virtual Server 2005 R2 environment with their existing physical server 
management tools. A wide array of complementary product and service offerings 
are available from Microsoft and its partners to help businesses plan for, 
deploy, and manage Virtual Server 2005 R2 in their environment.
