After years of hoping to crush Linux, Microsoft is trying to show it can get along with its open-source rival.
Microsoft on Wednesday detailed changes to its Virtual Server plans, announcing it will shift its next update of the software from a maintenance release to a paid upgrade.
Microsoft said on Thursday that it is pulling features out of the initial version of its "Viridian" hypervisor to avoid having to delay the virtualisation technology.
Virtualisation will be the key to the popularity of Microsoft's long-awaited server operating system, Windows Server 2008, analysts have predicted.
Microsoft has released an update to the second beta of its Windows Server "Longhorn" software, offering bug fixes and improvements in performance and reliability.

VMware's leader discusses the hows and whys of the industry's move toward virtualisation.
Companies' new operating systems -- Tiger and Longhorn -- bear a resemblance. But just who copied whom?
Windows Server 2008 is easier to install and manage than previous versions, and has many new and improved features that should encourage organisations to upgrade.
Windows Vista Ultimate is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
Microsoft has more to do on its new operating system, but this first beta suggests that Windows Vista could be up to par with Linux and Apple Mac OS X.
Microsoft will build multiple search solutions into the next version of Windows. Is it enough?
