Brilliant Rob as usual!! I have blogged it at http://samgentile.com/blog/archive/2005/07/22/31858.aspx. One question: is the same VPC that you sent me and handed out at TechEd or does it have the July VSTS? Thanks again!! - Anonymous

Is this available to all MSDN subscriptions ? I can see it with Universal, but a colleague with Enterprise can't see it yet. - Anonymous

Something seems to be wrong. I click on the link and get nothing. Too popular and too much happening perhaps? This is on two different machines. It is not only the VPC, but other images as well. - Anonymous

Is that available to Universal subscribers only or am I missing something? - Anonymous

Odd. Even though Subscriber Downloads claims that this download is available to MSDN Professional level subscribers, and that's where I stand, I can't see the download. - Anonymous

This is just the most brilliant thing I've seen in quite a while. I wish all the servers were available this way. - Anonymous

Just what the doctor ordered. I think that VPC's should be a must have for any beta of software that takes more than 30 minutes of effort to install. - Anonymous

There are several positive comments in response to the VPC release of VSTS.

This is a great idea! So I tried to download it immediately. I tried it for hours yesterday and today. Of course a signed in successfully before trying the download. But on clicking the link in the subscribers download section, I receive a blank page. This behaviour is absolutely repeatable. So, a great idea and much frustration. Has anybody had a similar experience? Any hints how to work around the problems?

Where is it? I have MSDN Universal, but I can't find the Team System VPC. I tried "Developer Tools > Visual Studio 2005" and several other areas, all to no avail. TIA - Anonymous

Someone recently asked me whether there is a VPC image available for Team System and Team Foundation.
