Informação importante sobre essa virtual machine (inglês):

• The share above is a Redmond-based server, so it will slow down if several people use it at once. You can fall back to the public download servers if the Redmond share is slow. If you are at TechEd (NA or Europe), find me and I’ll lend you a hard drive; in return, you can buy me a beer.
• Windows is configured to set the system clock to May 16, 2012 every time you start this machine up. This is to support the project management hands-on-lab. If you want to work with this virtual machine beyond the specific hands-on-labs scenarios, you will need to disable the Set Date and Time task (Task Scheduler -> Task Scheduler Library -> Set Date and Time -> Right-Click -> Disable)
• Please take a few minutes to read the “Working with…” document for some important instructions for properly importing and working with this virtual machine.
• This is a Hyper-V virtual machine and was built to work with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows 8 Release Preview, or Windows Server 2012. (The instructions provided assume you are using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, so steps may vary slightly if you are using a different host operating system)

Existem também DemoMates disponíveis para o Visual Studio 2012 hands-on-labs/demo scripts que você pode baixar no blog do Brian Keller. Os DemoMates são atualmente baseados no Visual Studio 2011 Beta mas serão atualizados em breve para o Visual Studio 2012 RC. DemoMates são ótimos para demostrar funcionalidades e novidades do produto sem precisar instalar e rodar uma virtual machine.

Até mais,
