When Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 was released last year, Windows Server 2008 and Vista SP1 were not around, but now that Windows Server 2008 and Vista SP1 are here, Microsoft has done a small update to ensure full support as both host and guest for these products as well as Windows XP SP3.

The update fixes a few minor issues previously reported with Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 as well as addressing a number of compatibility issues with Windows Server 2008 and Vista SP1.   Full details of what is included in the update is available in the following KB article: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/948515 .

The KB article above also lists all the additional Host & Guest operating systems now supported for Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1.
