Jeff has managed to get 5 minutes of his day back to put up an announcement around WSV security.

An important heads up about Black Hat next week in Las Vegas.

· How Windows Server virtualization virtualizes the CPU and enforces virtual machine isolation

· Best practices for Windows Server virtualization deployment

· Hardware futures [e.g., TXP from Intel, SVM from AMD, IOMMU]

· And more…
