Does 64bit LongHorn guest ID work for win2K8 R2 ...

Microsoft just (last week) released Windows 2008 R2 version which is quite different from Win2K8 R1 with all patches ... the R2 does not include 32bit emulation mode.

My question is ... will we be able to do a P2V of Win2K8 R2 to a virtual environment using the 64bit Longhorn guest ID?

Regards,

Keta

be careful, W2K8R2 is still not fully supported. People have had successs with it by not installing the tools, but I the guest ID is available in vSphere4
