Earlier this week we released the Hyper-V RC1 package to the connect.microsoft.com site.

What has been improved:

In addition to bug fixes and stability improvements we also made some additional changes largely based on feedback from customers

  • Integration Components For Windows Server 2008 guest’s included in Integration Services Setup Disk
  • New Graphics for Hyper-V Manager and Virtual Machine Connection – including a “Now” icon in the snapshot pane

Here are the different updates:
