All Windows Server 2008 editions are “enlightened” as is Vista. IIRC This allows the virtualised guests to natively work with hypercalls. With Hyper-V means with Hyper-V (on 32bit, it means the management components are there – on 64bit the whole Hyper-V). Without means that you getting RTM code only – no beta code.

I think I answered some of my own questions, the "with-hyper-v" means the management components, and MS calls the optimized kernel "Enlightened" so I am still yet to know if all 2008 editions are "Enlightened" or not. As far s the availability, its now RC0 I think but I was interested in playing with it to see how it works so far. jlc ________________________________ From: Justin Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 4:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Virt optimized kernel in '08? Hyper-V will come out as an update in a few months, is my understanding from an article in Windows IT Pro, February edition. On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 5:15 PM, Joseph L.

I am trying to find out the difference between the versions in TechNet, with/with-out Hyper-v? If Server 2008 has the optimizations, are they always available in both versions or just the Hyper-v version?
