MSDN Subscribers can download VS.Net Beta 2 in VPC form...

This is a cool idea.  They have posted a VPC image to the MSDN Subscribers downloads.  The VPC image has everything you need to start playing with Whidbey and Yukon.  The contents:

• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (expires September 16, 2006)
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Beta 2 (expires May 1, 2006)
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server Beta 2
• Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 2
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Community Technology Preview
• Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition
• Microsoft Live Communication Server 2003

The download looks to be 2.5 GB (a self-extracting VPC image).

I haven’t downloaded this yet, but having them put together the image for you with all the stuff you need is a very cool idea!  To bad they didn’t include the Indigo and Avalon RC 1 stuff, though I don’t think that it is compatible with the CTP of Yukon they have.
