  I am trying to understand which hardware I need for the Core and Core Plus v2 and beyond virtual images to be in a position to utilize these in advance of the RTM version which assumes comes with documentation.  In the old days you could use virtual PC on your laptop fairly successfully.  I do not see where I could utilize my laptop if 8GB of memory is required.

  Hi Mark, Most new laptops can be expanded to 8 GB of RAM, but if you have one that is a year or two old that may not be the case. Of course the Hyper-V images will run with less RAM than 8 GB, but performance won't be optimal likely. You can view all of the requirements for these images on our team blog here (http://blogs.msdn.com/gp/archive/2010/03/10/now-available-microsoft-dynamics-gp-2010-beta-coreplus-hyperv-ver-2-32-bit-technical-demonstration-toolkit.aspx). We can't make specific hardware recommendations (as far as brands/models) so check them out and do some surfing to find a model that suits your needs. Take care! AndyW

  Hi Todd As far as I know it does not have an expiry, but it is beta code and should not be used to run a live system (other than the official beta testing sites). David

  Overall, it's more compatible with Windows 7 x64 than version 10, but I can't install web services because it complains that it can't install on an x64 machine.   Obviously this is a bug since none of the notes or documents mentions this.

  Bob, That might be just the Beta build.  It installs just fine here on Win 7 64 bit. As a side note - Web Services for 2010 are a supported configuration on non-server OS's for development only.  For production, server 2003/2008 are required.  That's what the system guys tell me anyway.
