Microsoft just released a new online self-paced course about Virtual Server 2005. At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Install and configure Virtual Server 2005
• Configure virtual machines on Virtual Server 2005
• Migrate applications and servers to virtual machines

It costs $99 and time to complete is estimateed of about 5 hours (but you can take as much time as you want up to 6 months). Enroll it here. It was about the time! Microsoft should make it free to improve virtualization skills and avoid poor implementations not matching expectations in pilot programs. I would also say this is not enough: the real training customers should receive is about virtual infrastructures designing with more attention to topics like candidates recognition, capacity planning, performance troubleshooting than to the product in itself. I sincerely hope Microsoft already planned an Implementing & Managing and a Designing MOC (Microsoft Official Curriculum) for the next Windows Server Virtualization. Thanks to Virtualserver.tv for the news.
