Hypercall API published under OSP

Today Microsoft announced that it will extend the Open Specification Promise (OSP) to the hypercall API within Windows Server virtualization, and the final version will be available at the RTM milestone of Windows Server virtualization.

Today Microsoft posted an updated draft of the hypercall API to Microsoft’s website https://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/virtualization/default.mspx so that partners can continue to have early access to this important development interface

The hypercall API enables partners to develop solutions with Windows Server virtualization allowing customers to achieve dynamic IT environments.   These APIs are available for use by any organization seeking to integrate or extend their software with Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server virtualization.

Microsoft first distributed the hypercall API documentation to attendees of WinHEC 2006.
