Just when VMware decided to make ESX free in the form of ESXi, Microsoft have come along with Hyper-V Server – the free edition. Obviously based on Windows Server 2008, slimmed down version – none the less, you can get Hyper-V server for free and only have to subsequently pay for the licenses of the servers you run on it – similar to ESXi. Similar to ESXi, there are “limitations” but to get you out of the starting blocks, this baby surely will do the trick. Pop over to Microsoft and check it out for yourself!
