This week is a time to talk about most things virtual.

Microsoft recently released it’s own P2V, i.e. Physical to Virtual Migration tool to assist with Windows 7 deployment, allowing you to P2V your old Windows XP environment into your new Windows 7 deployment, should you need to run a critical app that would only work on Windows XP.

Before you get too excited consider the use case is Windows XP P2V as part of Windows 7 Deployments, not a generic P2V tool for multiple OS’s that you may have expected.

Have a look at the Windows Team Blog for more information.
