-- Ben Armstrong, Virtualization Program Manager
Talking about core virtualization at Microsoft (Hyper-V, Virtual PC and Virtual Server).
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition evaluation VHDs are now available for Virtual Server and Hyper-V. They are available full and core installation options.
You can get the Hyper-V VHDs from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=060f0c51-339a-4c4e-bb6e-716bb7401fd4&DisplayLang=en
You can get the Virtual Server VHDs from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=961db8ce-8473-47c2-92eb-b822ec5af0c9&DisplayLang=en
Cheers, Ben
Do you know if these or any Serve 2008 flavors are available for VPC? I'm specifically looking for a Domain Controller for TFS demos.

The Virtual Server images should be able to run under Virtual PC with no issues.

Hello,
Is there any major difference between Hyper-V and VS2005 virtual machines?
Best,
Ivor
Hyper-V supports x64 based operating systems, and can have multiple processors. Hyper-V and Virtual Server have different video cards and SCSI controllers. Also – Hyper-V uses a different HAL for Windows, so Hyper-V virtual machines cannot boot on Virtual Server (Virtual Server virtual machines can boot on Hyper-V).
