Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Announced – Adds Dynamic Memory

Microsoft announced today the future release of Windows 2008 R2 / Windows 7 Service Pack One.  This Service Pack will include two major enhancements for Hyper-V including Dynamic Memory and Remote FX. 

References: http://blogs.technet.com/virtualization/

Dynamic Memory will allow Hyper-V to achieve greater virtual machine density.

Additional Thoughts:

Dynamic Memory will have an obvious impact on datacenters trying to reduce costs and increase operating efficiency.  However, Dynamic Memory will also help small business and / or development shops do more with less physical hardware. 

Remote FX allows virtual machine users to watch full-motion video and Silverlight animations, run 3D animations, and use the Windows Aero Desktop.

Additional Thoughts:

Remote FX goes a long way to improving the user experience within the virtual environment.  This feature combine with Direct Access could really improve the remote worker experience.

Like whoa, that's pretty sweet with regard to dynamic memory. Curious though, is it Windows Server 2008 R2 or RS?
