Dynamic Memory and Remote FX Coming To Hyper-V for 2008 R2 SP1

Some great new features in the upcoming Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • Remote FX: With Microsoft RemoteFX, users will be able to work remotely in a Windows Aero desktop environment, watch full-motion video, enjoy Silverlight animations, and run 3D applications within a Hyper-V VM – all with the fidelity of a local-like performance.
  • Hyper-V Dynamic Memory: With Hyper-V Dynamic Memory, Hyper-V will enable greater virtual machine density suitable for servers and VDI deployments.

    This is great news! I can’t image doing Aero via RDP. Real graphics is a much needed improvement for the full virtual desktop implementation.
