Oliver over at the Windows Server Division Weblog has just written a post on the Announcement of Windows Server R2, among the enchancements that caught my eye were the ones to do with virtualization, a new Hyper-V is built in offering some great new features.

Considering I will be consolidating alot of my servers over the coming months this will add some great benefits. I currently have 2 Exchange 2007 servers riunning on a Hyper-V box and seem to be going OK. One is running the CAS and Hub Transport Roles and the other is running the MailStore Role.

Make sure you check out the other inclutions in R2 on the Windows 2008 Server Website.
