Al parecer el dia de Hoy Microsoft ha decidido liberar la version minimalista de Hyper-V totalmente gratis como ya se sabia de antemano.

Ya yo estoy descargando mi copia para ver que tal se desempeña esta version de Hyper-V….

Update: Creo que no es tan minimalista despues de todo, estoy descargando un .ISO de 936.95M !!

Esto de un Hyper-V completamente gratis va en serio y ya se ha visto en videos, estoy algo impaciente ya que la fecha no esta muy clara y solo dicen que estara disponible como un free download dentro de alrededor de 30 dias..

Al parecer si lo haran… en el blog oficial del equipo de virtualizacion de Microsoft postean la noticia.

MS Hyper-V Server: in 30 days for $0

The show begins in 10 hours, but the news it out:

* Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008, a new hypervisor-based server virtualization product (like ESXi), will be released within 30 days and be available at no cost via the Web
* Microsoft will demonstrate live migration feature of Windows Server 2008 R2. And the next version of Microsoft Hyper-V Server (the one after 2008) will have live migration capabilities.
* System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 will be released within 30 days [not a surprise], which will manage Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 or VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3
* Microsoft’s global server OEM partners … report that nearly 100% of their customers who order Windows Server 2008 with hardware are also choosing to have Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V included with their order.
* Dedicated virtualization lab established within the Microsoft Enterprise Engineering Center.
