VHDs available to try out key Microsoft products
I have ISV's ask me from time to time how they might be able to try out the latest Microsoft products. Virtual hard disks (VHD) provide a great way to get started. VHD's are available for many products. You can find all of them at Run IT on a Virtual Hard Disk. Some of the links to product most interesting to ISV's include:
- BizTalk Server 2006 VHD
- Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 VHD
- Exchange Server 2007 SP1 Beta 2 VHD
- Windows Vista Enterprise VHD 30-Day Edition
- Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite VHD
- Visual Studio 2005 Team System VHD
- Microsoft Office 2007 Professional VHD
- Office SharePoint Server 2007 VHD (MOSS)
- SQL Server 2005 VHD
