When new technology comes out, IT people often tend to discard the old (or, sometimes, begrudgingly live with it). Sometimes, however, older solutions are perfectly useful for certain purposes.

So what about existing technology? A good case in point is Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 (MSVS). MSVS is available for free and is a perfectly viable option for many environments. In this tip, I’ll look at when, where and why you might want to use MSVS rather than its newer replacement, Hyper-V.
