Q&A

Q: What is the demo VM, where do I get it?

A: “The Project 2010 Solution demo provides a comprehensive overview of the new  and existing capabilities included in Microsoft Project Professional 2010 and Microsoft Project Server 2010. The demo follows the life of a software development project from inception through to completion.” More on the second part here - https://blogs.msdn.com/project_programmability/archive/2010/02/25/project-2010-beta-virtual-lab-is-available-as-hosted-experience-in-your-browser.aspx
