Where can I download Hyper V 2012 Core? Also is this already the version that can be used in production? Or still in Beta?

Hi!

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/hyper-v-server/

It should be final version.

I see only trail / evaluation on the webpage

There's a "free download" link on the "Cost-Effective VDI" banner...

I see that it's RTM version?

I see that it's RTM version?

You don't and that probably means that it is.... It doesn't say that it's beta anywhere either, does it?

I see it in the image file name convention which I download :

9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X64FRE_SERVERHYPERCORE_EN-US-HRM_SHV_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5

Although its very ambiguous I believe that's the correct download just based off the title "X64FRE_SERVERHYPERCORE". Please let me know if not.

And thanks Microsoft for making it so difficult to find.  1 of 5 stars for MS.

Now the use some sort of download manager wtf, i don't want to install third party software just to download a freaking iso file..... also they have SSL issues on the page (the actual installer for the third party software is downloaded by http and not https while the rest of the page is https....) (and IE does not like this!!)

Hi, is it normal that is need to login and register? Also the Download indicates

Hyper-V Server 2012 R2  Evaluations  |  Unlimited

But I guess that is the right one?

ISO btw:

#9600.16384.WINBLUE_RTM.130821-1623_X64FRE_SERVERHYPERCORE_EN-US-IRM_SHV_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5.ISO

You are correct this is the right version of Hypver-V. It may say trial, but it's telling you there is an unlimited trial. Microsoft charges for the licenses on the Virtual Machines, the Hyper-V server itself is free.
