Inside Windows Server 8

摘要

Windows Server 8,scheduled for release in mid-2012, is Microsoft's first operating system built with the vir-tualized data center at its core. Microsoft has added critical capabilities to Hyper-V-its hypervisor, which is included with Windows Server 8-in an effort to compete with VMware. It also added features aimed at making operations and management easier. Infor-mationWeek reviewed a developer edition of Windows Server 8 and finds it's an ambitious effort to head off VMware, whose virtualization and management software aims to take over much of what a server OS has traditionally done.
