My concern about Microsoft's Virtual Server offering is that Microsoft is currently becoming rather heavy handed in trying to get users to subscribe to their annual license model. I would hate to be locked into one of their Virtual Server systems and find that it became a leverage to move me towards an annual license fee. I am currently testing VMWare's offerings and like the fact that I can integrate Linux into the mix with relative ease, including pre-built linux VM's. _____ From: Ehren Benson [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 10:13 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Nag- I watched about an hour long recorded webcast by Microsoft on the up and coming SCVMM part of the System Center family and my first impressions are. WOW! It is currently RTM and should be out soon.and paired with the updates coming when Windows Server 2008 is released.and then again 120 days after that with the full update to Virtual Server it seems very nice. We are beginning to think about starting to work towards a production class Virtual environment.currently we use VS2005 for testing but it's not redundant enough for production with only one server. I wonder if any of you other MS guys/gals out there have heard about this (if not then you should check it out) and or messed with it at all and am interested to hear some of your impressions. /Ehren Ehren J.
