vSphere Update 1 is out!
Apparently as I lay in bed in dreamland last night VMWare released vSphere update 1 - took long enough!
Update 1 brings several notable improvements:
• vSphere client works in Windows 7 - without a hack!
• You can run Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 as guest operating systems.
• View 4.0 support.
• Improved MSCS support.
• PVSCSI for 2003 and 2008.
• Improved dvswitch performance.
• 25 vCPU's per core!
• Support for Intel Xeon 3400 Series.
• And a whole lot of bug fixes.
No USB pass-through fix, and it seems like there are more known issues than fixed. To be fair, one of my VMWare colleagues mentioned that there were more known issues when 4 released than now, and most of these have existed since then.
For those of you with ESXi free, it's not available yet. No word on when it will be released - sorry!
Reports are already coming in of successful deployments, and I will probably update myself during next week’s rather large maintenance window (read: Thanksgiving).
