Ward Ralston over at the Windows Server blog has announce the availability of Windows Server 2008 Release Candidate 0 (with WSv).

image You can read more in his post “Windows Server 2008 Rc0 Released!“.  Although Ward mentions the RC0 is ready for download, the links still point to Beta3 - so I guess we’ll have to wait 24 hours for the pages to be refreshed.

So whilst we wait for the links to refresh, check out Alex Hinrichs and Jeff Woolsey Announcing Windows Server 2008 RC0 over at Channel9 — jump straight to 4:30 to hear Jeff talk about the hypervisor. 

Alex Hinrichs runs the Windows Server ship room and Jeff Woolsey is a senior program manager on the Virtualization team.

Once you’ve checked that out head over to Paul Thurrott’s Windows Windows Server Virtualization Preview and if you still need some more WSv goodness check out Keith’s blogcast, the Virtualization 10 Minute Tour.
