Yesterday Microsoft announced through their Windows Virtualization Team Blog that Microsoft’s Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 will support boot-from-flash. This means that they give the OEM vendors the possibility to suplly Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 as an embeded virtualization solution just like it is happening now with embedded versions of VMware VI3.5 and Citrix XenServer 5.

Check out the latest details on Hyper-V R2 and boot-from-flash here.
