I'm about to move from XP Professional to Server 2008 R2 for a development workstation. It looks like Hyper-V will be a huge improvement over VirtualPC…
Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V as a Developer Workstation
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V is a great platform for developers who need to work across a wide variety of platforms. Many developers are already using Microsoft Virtual PC for their development environments but soon this will not be a viable option. Why? All future Microsoft server products will only be offered in 64bit versions and Virtual PC only supports 32bit guest operating systems. Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V can solve this issue since it can host both 32bit and 64bit guest operating systems.
I have been running Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta with Hyper-V for a while now and have to say that I am really impressed with the performance and capabilities
Hopefully, I'll realize all the same benefits!
