Visual Studio 2010 Beta and 2008 Trial VMs
Virtual machine images for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 are now available for download. Using a virtual machine image allows you to try out software without having a dedicated machine for testing. The machine image is available in a variety of formats. On the download page you'll see that the image for each format has been broken into multiple chunks. You need to get all of the parts for one of the formats depending on the type of virtual machine you're using.
