What is the next version of Windows server and when will it come out? Thanks, sorry for the bluntness.

Ability to act as a Xen virtualization hypervisor host

What?! Wouldn't that be supporting the competition?

The "Server Core" ability is pretty freakin' awesome for Microsoft, too.

This virtualization push seems to be big. I think Microsoft is covering the bases, able to work in the major environments instead of limiting themselves to VirtualPC.
