Ed: Why they can"t just call it something simple like Virtual Server 2006 is beyond me, but if they want to spend their time with 2005 R2 SP1 Beta 1, well more power to them.
Virtual Server 2005 R2 service pack 1 will support AMD Virtualization and Intel Virtualization Technology, giving customers better interoperability, strengthened isolation to prevent corruption of one virtual machine from affecting others on the same system, as well as improved performance for non-Windows guest operating systems.
Beta 1 of Virtual Server 2005 R2 service pack 1, which was released for download and testing on April 28, includes Intel Virtualization Technology compatibility, as well as a host clustering technical white paper and the VB script, Microsoft said in a statement released April 28.
