I'd like to see a short session (not an entire meeting) devoted to at least the two primary competitors in Virtual Machine technology these days, VmWare (VmWare Workstation, VmWare Server, etc.) and Microsoft (Virtual PC, Virtual Server).
Using these technologies these days for me is as natural and frequent as email and web browsing, and few have ANY excuse not to use them given the recent announcements by VmWare related to their free VmWare Player and VmWare Server product offerings.

Here's the scoop from the server side:

Also, I believe if you have an MSDN subscription, a TechNet subscription, or an Action Pack subscription, it's a moot point. You've got lots of installs with those scenarios.
I had heard some rumblings about this product several months ago; WOW, it looks pretty nice. I'm especially interested to investigate the hypervisor component; I'm not familiar with that.
