Check out my blogpost on this subject at http://trycatch.be/blogs/pdtit/archive/2009/05/20/free-ms-press-book-on-virtualization-solutions.aspx

As a Microsoft Small Business Specialist, I quarterly receive a partner kit from Microsoft with sales, marketing and other material or references to the respective websites. This quarter, I discovered a very interesting link to a FREE MS PRESS E-BOOK on Microsoft Virtualization Solutions.

Below is the official information regarding the book:

This guide will teach you about the benefits of the latest virtualization technologies and how to plan, implement, and manage virtual infrastructure solutions. The technologies covered include: Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5, Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization, and Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

So in fact, it gives you all the ins-and-outs of Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Manager, new desktop technologies like APP-V, MED-V and VDI.

If you are interested in learning more from the Microsoft Virtualization platform and technologies, this book is for you !!

Thank you Microsoft and the "Virtualization teams" for this free offering.
