Windows Server Virtualization will be Included in Server 2008 RC0

I'm still hearing that "veridian", the new hypervisor and Windows Server Virtualization won't be an official release until 180 days past Server 2008 RTM. But, it appears that it will be included in Server 2008 RC0. From a Microsoft press release this Tuesday:

This week at VMworld we’re announcing that the Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Windows Server virtualization is coming soon with the initial release candidate of Windows Server 2008.

There's more in this press release, and an interesting discussion on SoftGrid as well. Check it out at:
