Delays, delays. More Not-Good Info on Microsoft Virtual Server Updates

The gap between VMware's virtualization products and Microsoft's gets just a little wider. Microsoft announced a schedule slip for two virtualization products late last week in the Windows Server Division Weblog.

The public beta of Windows Server virtualization will ship in the second half of 2007, not in the first half as previously disclosed.

The final version of Virtual Server 2005 R2 service pack 1 now will be available in Q2, not Q1 as previously stated. In the interim, customers and partners can download a Release Candidate (RC) version later this month - this is code complete and an update to the current beta 2.

According to the weblog, these delays are needed to ensure "meeting our internal goals for performance and scalability."
