VMs-within-VMs-within-VMs raise new virtualization promises and concerns.
Version 7 of VMware Workstation adeptly virtualizes Windows 7, Windows XP Mode and enterprise VMware platforms.
Virtualization may seem new, but it was around when eWEEK (then PC Week) made its debut. The roots of today's data center virtualization are easily traced to early mainframe systems of the 1970s and '80s. eWEEK Labs' Cameron Sturdevant connects the dots between his current virtualization coverage and his network management past.
Any organization that goes beyond dabbling with Hyper-V should use System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 to manage virtual resources in the Hyper-V component of Windows Server 2008 R2.

Are they enough? eWEEK Labs' early look at the new Hyper-V shows that Microsoft still has a lot of ground to cover.
