西行资讯消息，在最近一次招工公告中，微软提到计划招收为 Windows 添加原生虚拟磁盘（Virtual Hard Disks，VHD）支持的开发人员。并且，公告中明确提及这个系统就是指 Windows 7，如果不考虑微软最终缩减功能的话（微软经常这么干），那么 Windows 7 应该会具备原生的 VHD 支持。

招工公告如下（节选）：

"Do you want to join the team that is bringing virtualization into the mainstream? In Windows 7, our team will be responsible for creating, mounting, performing I/O on, and dismounting VHDs (virtual hard disks) natively. Imagine being able to mount a VHD on any Windows machine, do some offline servicing and then boot from that same VHD. Or perhaps, taking an existing VHD you currently use within Virtual Server and boost performance by booting natively from it.

Do you want to have the opportunity to work on a great Core OS team at the heart of Windows? If you have big ideas and want to implement them, if you love writing code, if you love delving into operating system internals, if you want to work on high visibility projects with direct consumer and customer impact and still work in a very technical environment, then you will feel right at home in this team.

Virtualization technology has been a great success with Virtual Server and Hyper-V. With native OS support on the horizon it will become an even greater hit. Our team is making this a reality in Windows 7. Consider the simplicity of backup using a VHD, or the portability of a virtual disk backed by a single file. These are a few reasons why this technology is poised to be one of the greatest features in Windows 7-come help us achieve this goal."
