I just got this from the MS Press team and want to share with you. :) It's a free e-book on the topic. Just click the link and follow the instructions for download. I am not aware of any cut off time for the offer.
Enjoy!

Interestingly, you can follow the link to download chapter 1 of the virtualization book, but when you download the whole book it links to a Windows Vista Secure Development book...
Anyone else experiencing this? I would like to download the entire virtualization book while it is available

I had the same issue as Jim.. Was directed to Writing Secure code for Vista.. Looks interesting, but I'm not a dev.. but am really interested in virtualization.

I guess we are all getting redirected to the Developer book. The virtualization book looks very good judging from the index. I hope they fix it soon

Please note that the following link is wrong - it only let you view the first chapter but takes you to the wrong book. This is due to a technical difficulty we have. I am working with the Press team to get the correct book up. Will post the right link ASAP. My apologies...

The issue is fixed. And the link is now linked to the correct book for download. sorry for the inconvenience it caused you...

I'm surprised no one yet caught the typo on the introductory webpage for the offer that reads "System Center Virtual Machine Manager ***2009***". I just recently got certified on SCVMM 2008 and I'm sure it's the latest version :)
