Virtualization is going to be (if it isn't already) a huge topic for anyone involved in the IT industry. I know that IT Pros are very excited about Microsoft's offering with Windows Server 2008 but I wasn't sure how many developers have at least a high level appreciation of what virtualization is and how Hyper-V fits into the big picture.
To find out, I would encourage you to spend some time browsing the numerous links and content on these sites:
1.
Microsoft Virtualization.
2.
Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.
3. Also recently, Bob Muglia sent
this executive email on virtualization, should you need something to forward to your manager.
4. Finally,
see this dedicated blog.
If you have access to the
TechEd Europe IT Forum 2007 post-conference recordings, there are 4 sessions that I recommend: MGT323, SVR307, SVR320 and SVR322. I watched those collective 300 minutes and (combined with what floated my boat from the other links above) distilled the most interesting bits into a 15'-20' section of my Windows Server 2008 developer session. It is from those 4 sessions that I stole the slides I used ;-). You can
find them in this powerpoint deck (36-58 inclusive).
