Just in time for the holiday weekend, we (that is Microsoft and I) got two new VPCs posted for your VSTS fun.
The first VPC is what we call the “all-up” image: Team Foundation Server 2008, Team Explorer 2008, Team Suite 2008, Team Build 2008, and bits of Office 2007 in a single workgroup security mode server image running on Windows Server 2003. Over 11 GB uncompressed.
The second VPC is a TFS only image with only Team Foundation Server and Team Explorer. It's just under 7 GB uncompressed. We built this image so that you'd run it under Virtual Server with a private network and do all your dev work and builds from your host computer. I'm working on a document that gives you all the details and will post it soon.
Both images expire on April 1, 2008. Updated images will be posted before then (in fact the updated images will have sample data, hands-on labs, and updates like Office 2007 SP1 and the TFS Power Tools that were announced today).
Note that both images were created off the same base OS so you can't run them on the same network at the same time.
If you have questions or comments about the images, please post on Connect (instructions are on the download pages), visit the MSDN forums, or worst case, drop me a note.
Enjoy!
Note: the images should be replicated accross the download servers but if you get an error, just try a bit later. They're up there.
