Now that I've installed Team Suite (RTM) and Team Foundation Server (Beta 3 Refresh) on my TabletPC, the long awaited VPC with Team Suite RC and Team Foundation Server Beta 3 (finally) found its way to MSDN Subscriber Downloads.
The VPC also includes the well-known AdventureWorks demo: To access the demo files, open the solution (.sln) file located in the C:\AdventureWorksDemo folder. The sample code is intended to demonstrate features of Visual Studio Team System, and therefore may exhibit poor coding conventions, security vulnerabilites, etc. The AdventureWorks application should not, and may not, be used in any form for production applications.
The ISVs I'm currently working with on the adoption of Team System should absolutely consider using this VPC for their learning process. Migration of the sources and SQL Server 2005 data to the RTM & Beta 3 Refresh (another VPC coming in the next few weeks) will be smooth.
