| New Features In Future Versions Virtual Server (Not R2) |

• Users will be able to move virtual machines as they run from one computer to another "with no visible downtime." • Users will be able to store a virtual machine's state on a hard drive, letting a user stop and restart a virtual machine or take "snapshots" of a machine at a particular time. • Microsoft will support both 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines, though a 64-bit operating system will be required to host the system. • Microsoft will compensate for different memory access speeds that are increasingly common in mainstream servers. This computer design principle is called nonuniform memory access, or NUMA, and Kieffer said it's a complicating factor with multicore processors. More here.
