Microsoft has promised that the Hyper-V virtualization component (formerly called Viridian) will follow within 180 days. Of course, Microsoft already has Virtual Server and Virtual PC, as well as stiff competition on the virtualization front from VMWare and Citrix/XenSource.

#1: Virtualization is a broad term with many meanings
#2: Not all VM software is created equal
#3: Check licensing requirements first!
#4: Be sure your applications are supported
#5: Virtualization goes beyond Windows
#6: Virtualization can increase security
#7: Virtualization can increase availability and aid in disaster recovery
