此外还有包含 Hyper-V 技术的 Windows Server 2008,最终的产品分类还是应该以微软官方为主,我现在也是比较迷茫,特别是针对 Hyper-V 技术的版本,具体会采取何种方式发布采用什么授权方式呢?
继续今天的主题,终于有些时间有些心情,在虚拟机种安装了 WS08RC1 英文版,体验一下有什么区别。事实上没有针对性的资料说明我还真没有看出较之RC0有什么区别。迷茫~ing……就在我向MVP群组里的大牛们询问关于WS08的一些信息时,老许同学竟然向我透露他已经安装上了RC2,Faint!网上刚有RC2的信息他就有了么?并给我提供了下载地址,仔细一看才知道就是 With Hyper-V 的 WS08,哈哈!搞得我是一点测试心情都没有了,幸亏抓了安装时的截图,放上来与大家分享一下吧!WS08RC1的安装与之前的版本没有却别,非常顺手、非常简单!我相信一个不怎么接触电脑的人都能根据提示一路下来成功地将WS08安装到计算机上!
直接晒图,不再一一说明,非常简单!着手准备搭建用来测试 Hyper-V 的环境,我的硬件绝对满足需求,T7200的CPU,支持64位扩展及VT技术,拥有2G内存搞个小测试完全没有问题,目前就是系统不行,用的32位的 Vista SP1 RC,如果要测试 Hyper-V 必须是64为环境,除非使用 VMware 可以在我当前的环境上创建64位的虚拟机,否则只能把32位的 Vista 改为 64位,看来只有使用 VMware 这唯一的途径了!实在不想再折腾,况且我的本子也没有光驱,所以直接安装WS08 with Hyper-V 是不可取的,我还点专门制作64位的Windows PE。
好了不说废话看图吧:
