Hyper-V Release Candidate Released
For those of you testing or using Hyper-V as your virtualization solution, the good news is that they appear to be on track for a final release by the end of the summer. Microsoft has just announced the release of the Hyper-V RC. This update adds Vista SP1 and XP SP3 support, and includes the Hyper-V Manager for Windows Vista SP1.
If you've been using the beta version of Hyper-V that shipped as part of Windows Server 2008, or an earlier version, you'll have some specific steps to follow to update your environment, but once you get everything converted, you should be good to directly upgrade from the RC to the final release.
Update: The Vista Hyper-V Manager tools are now available for download. There are tools for Vista 32-Bit and for Vista 64-bit.
