Microsoft Hyper-V

Microsoft believes virtualisation can be an integral part of your IT infrastructure, so they built Hyper-V into Windows Server 2008. This means you can easily integrate it with your existing infrastructure and management tools.

Since Hyper-V is the "windows you know" you can use the in-house expertise you already have. In fact, if you know Windows, you know virtualisation - it's that easy.
