If you are one of the 14,000 people expected to attend this year’s Microsoft TechEd 2007 event in Orlando, FL next week, you might want to keep your eyes and ears open about various virtualization sessions.

Over at the Windows Server Division Weblog, Patrick writes that Bob Muglia and Jeff Woolsey will demonstrate a Windows Server 2008 server core installation in a build of Windows Server Virtualization managed by MOM and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). Patrick hopes they will demonstrate VM creation, interop and networking load balancing with limited disruption of service, and perhaps even a V2V conversion from VMware ESX Server to Windows Server virtualization. And I’ll second Patrick’s hope… I too would love to see that.

Here are some other sessions of interest:

  • SVR239 – Virtualization 360: Microsoft’s vision and strategy for virtualization
  • SVR342 – High Availability for Physical and Virtual Environments with Windows Server 2008
  • SVR344 – Running Paravirtualized Linux Guests with Microsoft Windows Virtualization
  • SVR241 – Debunking virtualization market myths and misperceptions
  • SVR345 – Terminal Services and SoftGrid used together for application delivery
  • SVR201 – Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services overview

I’m looking forward to the show. And I hope to see many of you there!
