Microsoft is going to release long awaited Virtual Server 2005, but also wants to address physical to virtual (P2V) customers needs.
To do so the software giant didn’t develop a brand new piece of software, but preferred to adapt an existing one for a new role: Automated Deployment Service (ADS) 1.0 will be extended with a Virtual Server Migration Toolkit (VSMT), reaching P2V capabilities.
A new entry in Virtual Server 2005 FAQ states that VSMT beta will be available for early July.
