It does not support x64 guests.</p> <p>Windows Server 2008 includes Hyper-V, Microsoft's new virtualization technology, which supports x64 guests and multiple virtual processors. There are editions without Hyper-V as well, for marginally less money, to satisfy the anti-trust authorities. The Hyper-V <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=950050" rel="nofollow noreferrer">update</a> has to be downloaded as it was completed after the rest of Windows Server 2008 was released.</p> <p><a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/server/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">VMware Server</a> is also free. It supports (experimentally) up to 2 virtual CPUs.</p> <p>To get best performance you need drivers and patches in the virtual machine which work well with the virtualization environment. In Virtual Server these are called Additions, in Hyper-V they are Integration Components, and for VMware, VMware Tools. Because of the nature of kernel binary compatibility (there are no guarantees), only specific distributions are generally supported.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualserver/bb676671.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Download Virtual Server Additions for Linux</a></li> <li><a href="https://connect.microsoft.com/SelfNomination.aspx?ProgramID=1863&pageType=1&SiteID=495" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Download Hyper-V Linux Integration Components</a></li> </ul>
