Team System 2008 SP1 Virtual PC/Virtual Server and Hyper-V images are live
Brian Randell just announced his holiday surprise: New Virtual PC/Server and Hyper-V images with VSTS and TFS and a 12/31/2009 expiration date.
As part of the refresh and extending the expiration date, Brian have updated the images to include the following (naturally some items only appear in the “all-up” images):
- the latest virtual machine additions or integration services components
- all of the latest Windows Updates as of December 1, 2008
- Team Foundation Server 2008 SP1
- Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite SP1
- Team System Web Access 2008 SP1
- Team Foundation Power Tools, October 2008 update
- the latest MSSCCI provider
- Team Explorer 2005 (this allows you to work with TFS from Visual Studio 2005 which is installed so that you can edit and customize TFS reports)
- the GDR for the product formally known as Visual Studio 2008 Database Edition (aka Data Dude)
- current Process Explorer, Process Monitor, and Background Info
You can download the images from:
