If you want to download Windows 2008 RC0 with the Windows Server virtualization preview, the URLs are below:

 

Remember to grab the 64 bit version (6001.16659.070916-1443_amd64fre_Server_en-us-KR1SXFRE_EN_DVD.iso) as it is the only version that will run WSv

John Howard has some great install primers in his post , “How to install the Windows Server virtualization role in Windows Server 2008 RC0“, a snippet is below:

  • disable the HT (HyperThread) capability in your processor,
  • enable Hardware-assisted Virtualization (Intel VT or AMD Pacifica)
  • then powerdown the computer completely

cheers!
