Microsoft today spat out a release candidate build of its delayed virtualisation software Hyper-V. The firm said it has finally reached the inbetweeny post-beta, pre-final release stage for its hypervisor, originally code-named Viridian. Microsoft didn"t say whether the release candidate will be the last code tweak, but did confirm that it"s on schedule to pump out a full final version of Hyper-V by August.
However, given Redmond"s track record, it"s fair to assume that a second release candidate will turn up in the coming weeks. The hint is in the statement which described today"s RC as containing "updated, near-final code".
