Microsoft Corp. gave further details on Monday of a group of server and virtualization products due next year that will set the tone for how well the company will compete in the enterprise software market.

It announced pricing and licensing details for Windows Server 2008, its long-awaited server product due for release in February, and revealed that the commercial name for its virtualization product will be Hyper-V, formerly known as Viridian. The announcements came on the first day of IT Forum, Microsoft's largest customer conference in Europe.

On its Web site, Microsoft is billing the official launch of Windows Server 2008, which will take place in Los Angeles on Feb. 27, as "the most important enterprise launch in company history." That launch will also showcase Visual Studio 2008, the company's application development tools, and SQL Server 2008, its database.
