My good friend and VSTS MVP Boon Tiong sent me a link to a very interesting article on Bink.nu this morning. It interests me very much as I used Virtual Server 2005 SP1 Beta (as it was then named) for almost all of my evaluation of the early beta’s and release candidates of Team Foundation Server.

According to the article, Microsoft’s Bob Muglia announced the release of Virtual Server 2005 R2 at the Microsoft IT Forum in Barcelona. Being on the Beta program for this product I am well aware of the great new features this release has but what has caught my eye in the article are the prices that have been quoted.

Virtual Server 2005 R2 Standard edition 99 USD
Virtual Server 2005 R2 Enterprice edition 199 USD !!

That is an incredible price point for such a rich product! Read the article at http://bink.nu/Article5338.bink
