I have a Windows Server 2003 box which I want to upgrade to Server 2008 R2 and use hypervisor to manage a bunch of VMs.
I want to use the latest release candidate of Server 2008 R2 and I want to know if this will be upgradable to the RTM / final version (like Windows 7 is) on launch or will I have to reinstall with the proper RTM version?
Thanks in advance
Ryan

Now they say you can.
According to this ms article (on 7/21/09), “Upgrade of Hyper-V installations from RC versions to RTM of R2 will be supported. You can perform an upgrade of Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 from RC to RTM.”
