What I did manage to glean from MS was - that the virtualisation product will 
ship 180 days after longhorn does and will run on server core and full gui 
version. When the +180 server core ships it will be an update to the basic core 
version - rather than there being two flavours of core. All resources will be 
hot plug - disk, network, ram and cpu; but not hot unplugable.

Oh and it will be free.... But that needs defining - you may need to sacrifice 
several goats to Rah though, to qualify.

They were running 5735 for the sad ones out there, it will go to limited beta 
in two months and connect should have the details soon.

Not sure about the mountain dew as the drink bins are always empty but, there 
are no queue's (lines) for the ladies - but that being said there are a fair 
few ladies here.


Anyone got an update from WinConnections?
