So Microsoft announced the 8th of September the Hyper-V Server would be ready within 30 days... as of now there are only a couple of days until the this deadline is up, so I hope Microsoft won't let us down with a notice of delay.

For those of you who might have missed the fuss about the Hyper-V Server and the Hyper-V feature in Windows Server 2008, this is a dedicated server only for hosting Hyper-V machines. Now you might say, yeah but we have the same opportunity with Windows 2008 Core server with the Hyper-V feature enabled – yes, but Windows 2008 isn't free  - the Hyper-V Server is going to be free of charge, and has a built in console application for administrating the most simple things of the server-setup. The Hyper-V server should have an even smaller footprint than the Windows Core edition, and should feature wise it should match the same options as if you were running a Windows 2008 Standard edition with Hyper-V.

As soon as it ships I'll be testing it, and I will post my experience here as soon as possible.
