Following a similar move by VMware in August, Microsoft Wednesday released a free, low-footprint version of its Hyper-V virtualization software as it continues to chase the virtualization leader.
Hyper-V Server 2008, which includes only the Windows Hypervisor, Windows Server driver model and virtualization components, is now available online.
Microsoft also on Wednesday unveiled new ways for IT professionals to get training and certification on virtualization for desktop, server, and management environments. More details about the programs are available on Microsoft's Web site and the Microsoft Learning Community Blog .
