This Week in Virtualization
Greschler, Microsoft's director of integrated virtualization strategy, speaks at length with News Director Alex Barrett about how server virtualization, desktop virtualization, cloud computing and management fit together -- and why organizations should move in that direction.

They discuss controversial Microsoft virtualization topics as well, such as Hyper-V's limited guest operating system support and the Hyper-V vs. VMware price debate.

Greschler also covers the long-term Microsoft virtualization strategy, which includes adding Dynamic Memory to the next version of Hyper-V and a focus on management with the System Center product line. In addition, he answers the question of why Microsoft is interested in the virtualization market in the first place -- especially considering the company doesn't charge for Hyper-V.
