Longhorn Beta 2 also now out

John Howard – who did this job before moving to the Virtualization group in Redmond - told me to look out interesting stuff at the WinHEC conference which is happening now. Bill Gates’ keynote is online now [the time differences and yesterdays travel mean I haven’t seen it myself yet] and according to George OU on ZDNet he showed what Hypervisor (next generation virtualization) can do. Looks like I’m going to need a laptop that has 10Gig of RAM and 64 bit processor that I can use to demo Hypervisor. And I’ve only had John’s old Toshiba for a couple of weeks ;-)
