Microsoft has delayed an update to its current virtualisation software and the beta debut of its next-generation successor code-named Viridian.
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.
In recent years, tech enthusiasts have turned to Microsoft's spring hardware conference as a chance to get juicy tidbits on where the software maker was headed with the next version of Windows.
Microsoft said on Wednesday that the follow-on to its Windows Server 2008 operating system will be an interim release due to arrive in 2009.
A new open-source virtual-machine project has quickly won Linux allies, but its arrival brings complications.
