We just released IIS Media Services 3.0, a set of extensions for Internet Information Services 7 (IIS) that provide an integrated HTTP-based media delivery platform. This includes the new IIS Live Smooth Streaming and the separate IIS Advanced Logging package.
In addition, we released the beta of the Smooth Streaming Player Development Kit, which allows developers to easily create Smooth Streaming experiences using Silverlight. Supported features include PlayReady

Is IIS Media 3.0 supported if the OS is installed on a virtual machine? (e.g. vmware / hyperv) as I’m curious the impact of virtualization to these technologies which involved alot of segmenting / computation of media content.

Yes. You can run IIS 7 in a virtual host with Media Services. There is surprisingly low overhead to the processing of the fragmented MP4 chunks. You wouldn’t want to encode on the same VM of course.
