In this session you'll get an inside look at new Windows virtualization features, including dynamic virtual memory, live VM migration, hypervisor power management support and new hardware-assisted guest memory management. VHDs are taking on a more key role in simplifying systems management and Windows 7's integrated VHD mount and boot from VHD are a major step toward standardization on VHDs as a common container format for physical and virtual machine images. Learn how Windows 7 implements a native VHD stack and how the boot architecture has changed to accommodate booting from VHD images.
