-will include some form of "Hypervisor" (Windows Virtualization) technology, which will be available shortly after the launch of Windows Server 2008;

Q: Will Microsoft also launch a Windows upgrade before Windows 7?

A: it will. Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1 Code "Fiji") will be released early next year with Windows Server 2008 and will contain the latest kernel version of Longhorn. Fiji will certainly include a revised version of the Media Center software in Vista, and for these reasons, we can Fiji as a major version of the service pack. Of course, Windows did not have any service packs that included major kernel upgrades.
