- I am not a big fan of the R2 and SE naming. Yeah-yeah, its a minor release we get it. That is what made version numbers so great. if you had Virtual Server 4.0 and wanted to do a minor release you would just call it 4.1.

- Yeah, the naming convention seems to have been designed at a trekie convention.

Why the hell didn't they just call it Virtual Server 2007 Beta 1?

Virtual Server 2005 R2 service pack 1 will support AMD Virtualization and Intel Virtualization Technology, giving customers better interoperability, strengthened isolation to prevent corruption of one virtual machine from affecting others on the same system, as well as improved performance for non-Windows guest operating systems.
Beta 1 of Virtual Server 2005 R2 service pack 1, which was released for download and testing on April 28, includes Intel Virtualization Technology compatibility, as well as a host clustering technical white paper and the VB script, Microsoft said in a statement released April 28.
The beta is available for download at Microsoft's Web site.
