I'm virtualizing what I can, but I've got stuff spread far outside my data centers. I am starting to put some of the remote sites on 2008 R2 Hyper-V clusters, and I think that is going to work out pretty well.

It has it quirks but it seemed to me to be better than 2003. I have not done any testing on 2008 R2 or 2003 R2.
