First of all: Happy new year and I wish you all a fantastic 2010! In this first post of the year on Virtualfuture, I want to bring the latest survey of Eric Siebert’s top 25 “VMware and virtualization bloggers” to your attention.

Posted on July 31, 2009 by Matthijs Haverink

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.
