This is a FREE version of their incredible virtualization hypervisor. I think the idea is that in the very near future, most if not all servers will run with this tiny hypervisor pre-loaded.  Then you’ll load whatever OS you want to actually run on top of it. You get the benfit of snapshots, moveability, etc., but with a piece of software that’s TINY (32 mb). Try it yourself…

Get everything set up once and then clone the image to all the other similar computers. Its a great recovery tool also. If your PC gets infected with any nasties or just starts to “slow down” you can get your data off, then re-image it back to the way it was very quickly.

Its great for home machines, too. I came across this software on Lifehacker recently that’s free (personal edition) and looks easy to use. Try it out…
