Microsoft Virtualization:
We will be watching this space with a lot of anticipation. Check out Dugie's blog. Also here.
Anyway, at the moment we all know that Virtual Server is installed on top of Windows 2003. So your install footprint consumes ~2 Gb. Then your Virtual Machines, run on top Virtual Server. As per the diagram to your right. >So lets fast forward a little bit. Windows 2008 CTP (aka Longhorn) has an install footprint of ~4.4 Gb. But we don’t need most of that install base to run Windows Virtualization.
So Windows 2008 can also be installed in a mode called ’Windows Server Core‘. Windows Core is a lean and mean install of Windows without any of the ’bells and whistles‘. Core has an install footprint of ~1.3 Gb. Then we need to add the hypervisor and Windows Virtualization role.
