Virtualization licensing document now available

Microsoft has just recently published this virtualization licensing document:

https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/a/a/7aa89a8b-bf4d-446b-a50c-c9b00024df33/Windows_Server_2003_R2.docx

The nice thing about this document is that it outlines how the various licensing schemes apply to Microsoft, VMware and SWsoft virtualization products.  It also goes over a number of the different virtualization configurations and details how licensing works.

This is great - as this has been an area of significant confusion - so go check it out and be enlightened.

Cheers,
Ben
