Hi Jim

This is great news!
The third party solutions for Windows are either very expensive or very limited, and those for Linux and Solaris are ugly to administer for a Windows guy and a nigthmare to install and - if not expensive - somewhat limited.

Thanks for posting this!
By the way, the comprehensive Technet documentation is here:

Microsoft now has a free SAN type solution for us who need to test before we
deploy and for small businesses on very limited budgets.

See the following article:

..and the all important download link with its quick product summary and
installation tips. The only restriction is that you must have a Sever2008 R2
but if you have had access to a Technet subscription or that your company is
part of computer support you already do.
