(Virtually) Everything You Need to Know About Microsoft Virtualisation Technologies

For a recent customer presentation on Virtual Server, I created a handout CD that contained a lot of tools, documents, script, etc related to Microsoft Virtualisation technologies.  Having everything (more or less) in one neat little package proved quite popular, so I've recreated it as much as possible as a series of web links.

I'll try to update this list with any new information I find.  If you find something I've missed, let me know.
