Microsoft Has New Take On Virtualization: Page 2 of 2

Other notable features include the ability to create virtual networks and virtual disks, which will prove to be most important to software developers and deployment testers. Virtual networking allows a pseudo network to be created that is isolated from the host machine's primary network, while virtual disks allow disk space to be put aside and resized as needed for any virtual-machine session. Administrators will also like the ability to save an image of a virtual machine, which can be used to back up a virtual machine before applying any major changes.

All things considered, Microsoft's stab at a Virtual Server product seems to be right on track. The product is destined to become a tool that any administrator can utilize.
