Microsoft sheds more light on Windows Hypervisor technology
eWeek | at | by Mike
While Microsoft's Windows Hypervisor technology, code-named Viridian and currently under development, will not be ready when Windows "Longhorn" Server ships sometime next year, company officials are optimistic that it will be available "sooner rather than later." But they are not yet prepared to say exactly when "sooner" might be, especially in light of the recently announced slips in the release of Windows Vista and Office 2007.
Viridian is technology that will run beneath the operating system and manage resources for multiple virtual machines.
