A review of Hyper-V that is available in Win 2008 is available at ZDNet.(this will not ship out of the box with the March release of 2008, but will be release later as it is still in Beta now. But basically it is part of Win 2008 license and so is a part of the OS).
I am not a virtualization expert, but as with every techology person, VMs are a part of life nowadays. Most of my customer demos are packaged as VMs... Technical POCs and tests are VMs... Virtual PC is one of the tools on my "I cannot do without" list.
But my experience on the server site, with Virtual Server has not always been great. Performance is a big problem when going for a virtualized server. So from what I can see, anything that can improve performance on a virtualized server is a good thing..:)
I can see Hyper-V being something (if it is sucessful) that would push a lot of the bigger enterprises to upgrade to Win 2008.
