As many of you know the virtual machines that Microsoft kindly provides for evaluation of Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server expire on December 31. Fortunately Brian Randell has been busy creating a set of new virtual machines for VSTS/TFS/VS:

This time we get both Virtual PC 2007/Virtual Server 2005 and Hyper-V compatible images, which is really useful since I use both Hyper-V and Virtual PC for demos and presentations. And we get images for VSTS 2008 SP1 and VS 2010 beta 2. The beta 2 image will be really useful for testing out the coming version (which I really recommend you checkout if you haven’t done so already). Here are the links to the full VPC images:

• Microsoft® Visual Studio® Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server SP1 and Team Suite SP1 VPC Image (Trial)
• Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010 and Team Foundation Server® 2010 Beta 2 virtual image for Windows Virtual PC

Here are the file sets if you use the Free Download Manager for downloads:
