If you follow the instructions in the video you'll see that I have a blog post (listed above) which has direct links to the downloads you'll need. The rest of the downloads (e.g. Visual Studio Professional, Load Agent, etc.) are still going through staging (should be live any minute...), but they are not required to follow the steps in my video.

...and I just confirmed that the rest of the downloads are live now as well. See Beta 1 home on MSDN for all of the SKU's, but remember that if you're following the instructions in my video you'll probably want to follow the Download instructions for all files in this video for what will probably be a faster and more robust download experience.

Happy downloading!

Are VHDs being created so we can download them instead?

Pure disappointment ...

I had hoped to dive into the new C++0x, but it turned out quickly that Visual Studio 2010 has an extremely poor support for this standard. GCC 4.4 under Linux has implemented ALL standard header files, while Visual Studio 2010 does not have a single one... heavily worked Micro$oft!

The actual languages we work in would surely be given the highest priority of all, but apparently it's not the way you are working. The most I see is a performance loss make up with a non-standard parallel library.
