I have written in the past that Microsoft was planning a release of just the Hyper-V components of Windows Server 2008. This release would be a super thin bare metal hypervisor called Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008. What’s more, Microsoft announced that the release of Hyper-V Server 2008 would be free. Well, the day has come. Microsoft released Hyper-V Server 2008 as a free download on their website. Keep in mind you need x64 hardware with virtualization technology processors in order to utilize Hyper-V Server 2008.

See a demo of Hyper-V Server 2008 here…
