The CTP is designed to enable users to experience Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4.0, and to provide feature design feedback on a limited set of features. These features are exposed through a set of walkthroughs that are included in the VPC itself. Many common development scenarios may not work in this CTP as it is designed to support the above walkthroughs.

System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003; Windows Server 2008; Windows Vista; Windows XP
Minimum 75 GB available HDD space

The host computer must have a minimum of 2 GB RAM, with 1 GB allocated to the host operating system and 1 GB allocated to the VPC.

We recommend that the host computer CPU be at least a Core Duo 2 GHz processor.

Service Pack 1 of Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 is required to access the VPC.



To upgrade Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 to Service Pack 1, download and install the update from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=28c97d22-6eb8-4a09-a7f7-f6c7a1f000b5&DisplayLang=en

If the host computer has more than 2 GB RAM, you can increase performance of your VPC by allocating more memory to the VPC. After that change to the VM settings, you will need to update the page file inside the guest OS to be 1.5 times the amount of RAM you’ve allocated.
