Microsoft Virtualization for Developers

Virtualization is cool and there is more than just hype. We all got that. Developments in AMD and Intel processor architecture certainly help fostering adoption and spreading the technology. The newest processors have or will have support for virtual environments built in and products like Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 will take advantage in providing an even more powerful and reliable secure platform for virtualization solutions.

The latest chapter in virtualization with Microsoft is the VHD Test Drive.

To help the developer community learn more about the VHD Test Drive program, the Microsoft virtualization story and how to take advantage of virtual environments, we put together a 3 day developer lab full of stuff relevant to coders. Sign up for a lab in your area at: www.virtualizationevents.com. Here's what's in the box for you:
