yes, it's free. And the SP1 that's supposedly coming is free as well. Read
this if in doubt:

"Why is Microsoft making Virtual Server available at no charge?"

[quote - Zane Adam ]
First, we told customers that our Virtual Server 2005 R2 product is now available as a no-charge download. Combined with the
flexible virtualization licensing now available with Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition, this means there is little barrier
to adoption for customers who want to realize the benefits of server virtualization.

Second, we announced the availability of no-charge virtual machine add-ins to run select Linux distributions, along with a technical
support model to assist customers as they consolidate their Linux-based applications on Virtual Server 2005 R2.

Our third announcement is about the momentum we're seeing around our Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) format licensing program, which will
drive industry development of solutions to help customers better manage virtual machines. We now have more than 45 vendors signed up
in this royalty-free license program, which is more than double the number we had six months ago.

The trial version was 160 days, not 120 days.
