Critical Features Cut from Windows Server Virtualization

in: betanews

Yet another cut from a Microsoft product (Windows Server 2008):

• live migration of running virtual machines between servers;
• "hot-adds" of virtual components such as storage, processors, and memory; and
• support for more than 16 logical processing cores.

Well, at least the IIS7 and the "server core" technology is still there...

[Update] "server core" is a Windows 2008 command line installation - no GUI. Yeap, a 1GB reduced surface installation. No, not an anti-Linux, but a Linux humble competitor.
