In this edition of This Week in Virtualization, Hyper-V expert Rob McShinsky talks about the effects of Microsoft software licensing on virtualization and offers virtualization licensing tips.

This week's podcast also features news about VMware and Microsoft pulling away from other vendors in the server virtualization market.
