We are going to purchase w2k8 server here soon.. right now we are running a
trial edition without hyper-v (thats what the version said when we
downloaded it) but my question is why are there two versions? With and
Without hyper-v? i thought hyper-v was still in beta? and thought it was
going to also be in all standard / ent editions? does it cost more for it?
will all versions get it when its done? what should I look for when
purchasing? because I have two options, with and without, and strangely with
costs less?!... I'm so confused...
 
Re: With and With out hyper-v

Servers without Hyper-V are about $28 cheaper. They will not run Hyper-V.

I suspect the reason for this is to avoid being sued by the EU for
bundling Hyper-V with the server OS. This way they can claim that it is an
optional add-on.
