During the past few months, I have had several requests from people eager to try out VSTS and TFS. Now that TFS has shipped, people are starting to think much more seriously about what this product can do for them and their organisation. Many of you will remember the VPC image that was available for evaluation around the Beta 3 timeframes but we’ve not seen an update to this in a while.

Rob Caron posted today that the preconfigured VPC image for VSTS and TFS is now available for download from the MSDN Subscriber Download site.

You’ll need to allow a little bit of time for the downloads though. There are two parts you need to download to make up the self extracting RAR file that contains the VPC image.

• VSTSTFSRTM.part1.exe (3815Mb)
• VSTSTFSRTM.part2.exe (630Mb)

Remember the VPC image is for evaluation purposes only.
