According to http://blogs.technet.com/windowsserver/archive/2007/12/12/Yes_2C00_-Virginia_2C00_-there-is-a-Hyper_2D00_V-beta.aspx the beta of Hyper-V is released. If you’ve installed the RC0 version you’ll need to do a clean reinstall, but after having read the list I do believe it’ll be worth the time spent.

Here’s a small outtake:

  • Quick Migration and cluster high availability – for migration of VMs for planned and unplanned downtime. BTW, don’t forget that Windows Server 2008 now includes support for up to 16 nodes!
  • Hyper-V is now included by default in Windows Server manager, which means enabling virtualization is as easy as installing any other role
  • Support for running Hyper-V with Server Core in the parent partition
  • Volume Shadow Services support
