Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard (and may be sick about hearing) of Microsoft Hyper-V. I know that Flavor Flav said “Don’t believe the hype” but this is one of those instances where you should listen.
If you *are* listening and would like to get some free training on Hyper-V, here’s the perfect opportunity. Microsoft is giving away 4 free online eLearning classes, and if you haven’t tried the updated eLearning stuff lately, it’s pretty good.

And one of the really nice things about the Microsoft eLearning classes is that they have an E-Learning Offline Player, so you can view all of the content (except for the virtual labs) on your laptop anywhere. Very handy!
