Say goodbye to the Beta, say hello to the R2 RTM technical demonstration toolkit.

Now, this blog will be a bit longer than usual. The first point below is some info on future direction, then below that, information on what we delivered in this release.

First - This is absolutely, positively, without any further ado, the last 32-bit VPC that we'll ship for Microsoft Dynamics GP. In fact, we're likely the last 32-bit VPC image across all of Microsoft that will be shipped. Got your attention? Ok. So, it's NOT the last image ever, just the last 32-bit image. We will be delivering, moving forward, 64-bit Hyper-V images. Some of you have already been asking about Hyper-V images, and we'll try to get you one for the R2 RTM image right away, and then moving forward, expect that as our usual delivery method. We'll also be publishing a guide on system setup.
