Microsoft announced the second release of its Windows Server 2008 operating system at its Professional Developer Conference in Los Angeles this week.
Microsoft, Citrix, Novell and Sun Microsystems all made announcements around virtualisation overnight.
Senior Microsoft security strategist Steve Riley has used the vendor's Tech.Ed conference in Sydney this week to rebut claims by a Polish researcher that Microsoft's hypervisor software could be maliciously replaced on PCs without administrators knowing.
Microsoft officially launched Windows Server 2008, Windows Visual Studio 2008, and announced SQL Server 2008, which is due in the third quarter of this year.
Microsoft's long-awaited server operating system, Windows Server 2008, provides evidence that the company is taking note of what customers want, according to analysts.

Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8 provides flexibility when creating desktop and laptop backups. If you have high value data stored on your computer, then we think $106.53 is a reasonable price to ensure it's protected.
NComputing's X300 provides a cost-effective way to hang up to six terminals off a single desktop PC using low-power, secure, easy to administer and quiet access terminals. It's not for power users, but is well suited to schools, business workgroups, libraries and internet cafes.
