Megan Davis posted on his blog a cool news about upcoming VS2005 SP1:
Here’s what Kurt Schmucker, the program manager for Virtual Server 2005 Service Pack 1 says about the release:
“As with typical service packs from Microsoft, Virtual Server 2005 Service Pack 1 will be primarily a rollup of fixes we have seen since the product was released to improve performance and increase scalability. In addition, with Service Pack 1, Virtual Server 2005 will have host support for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 x64 Edition (note that this does not include IA64), provide PXE support, qualify Windows XP SP2 as a host and as a guest, and include the Virtual Disk Precompactor, a utility that is designed to “zero out” — that is, overwrite with zeros — any available blank space on a virtual hard disk.
A public beta is slated for the end of first quarter 2005, with product release planned for the second half of calendar year 2005.”
