Microsoft to release Virtual Server 2005 R2 for free
Wednesday, 29 March 2006 by Michel Roth
Alessandro Perilli on virtualization.info reports that Microsoft is possibly releasing Virtual Server 2005 R2 for free.

"Several reliable sources reported me Microsoft is expected to released Virtual Server 2005 R2 Enterprise Edition for free during next week, possibly on Monday.

If true with this move Microsoft will try to embank actual VMware strategy, based on VMware Player, upcoming Server and virtual appliances.

Just yesterday I wrote how Microsoft is actually the big absentee of virtualization market. I doubt this move will help much."
