Review: Microsoft targets virtualisation with Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 combo

Much of the attention being paid to this week's Windows 8 launch focuses on the new Metro-style interface and the fact that Microsoft is extending its desktop OS to tablets and smartphones. But for enterprises, the real story is the way Microsoft has integrated Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and the Hyper-V hypervisor to create an unmatched system for running virtualised environments.

Windows Server 2012 review

It may feel like a wolf chasing you through the woods at night - yet another Windows Server migration closing in on its prey. This is one migration you'll want to look at very closely before trying to pull it off. It's a great time to start serious evaluation, since the Windows Server 8 beta has graduated to the Release Candidate stage and its full and final name: Windows Server 2012.

Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud review

If you're building an internal or private cloud, Canonical wants you to use Ubuntu Linux 10.04 as your operating system of choice. To that end, the newest version of Ubuntu includes a feature set called Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud.

Mac OS X 10.6 Server review

Apple has made much of how Mac OS X 10.6 is a tuning of the operating system, but not really adding new features to the OS other than some plumbing upgrades and Exchange 2007 support.
