Softpedia released a story yesterday giving more detail about the screenshots of the leaked Windows 8 server screenshots by the WZOR website.

One screenshot concerning Hyper-V is quite interesting, because it includes the option for Dynamic memory. Dynamic memory would allow you to specify the amount of RAM a VM will start, and a maximum amount of memory the VM could use.

Keep in mind though that there is no guarantee that this feature will make it into the final version of Windows 8 Server.

Comment: Nice armour for the VMWare v.s. Hyper-V discussions...

Edit: Alessandro Perilli from Virtualization.info mentions that the screenshots could also mean that this functionality will be released with the next Service Pack and not with Windows Server 8. (read more here)
