I can't figure out how to snapshot a VM in Virtual Server 2005 R2.
Specifically, I want to say, "Okay, save the VM at this point." Then I do
some stuff and want to revert it to the saved point.

I know I can do this by copying the whole thing. Can I do it some other
(simpler, faster) way?

I didn't see such a feature in the beta either. Does anyone know, is it on
the table for future releases?

It won't be in SP1 for Virtual Server. I don't believe a feature set has

One option is create a differencing disk based on the image you want
to preserve. You should lock the base image (read only).

It's more to let students experient in a classroom without worrying about
messing up what they've done so far.

Perhaps a simple "turn off" could accomplish this.
