There are some very interesting things happening in this space when you consider Intel and AMD building in hardware virtualization support soon as well as Microsoft licensing some tech to XenSource. The competition with VMWare is really heating up.
These were very interesting articles. We've been using MS VS 05 here for about a year and a half. We just built our first VMWare server and people like it. Much more OS independent.
This was the first that I had heard about the CPU optimizations coming though. That's good to know and will be highly anticipated I imagine.
Now's the time for a group to gobble market share though. I know we're ready to jump on something. It just needs to be stable and have the proper performance characteristics. Previous to MS VS 05 R2 Microsoft was just not taking advantage of the available hardware.
Article on virtualization for the Mac. This is the first report I've seen that talks about virtualization for desktop users. Seems like you'd still install the dual boot stuff to get the drivers for Windows on the Mac, and then just use virtualization to boot into both at the same time.

Also, R2 will support some Linux flavors...

Furrygoat has a little post about Mac/XP virtualization. XP boots in under 5 seconds!
