Hi All -- In this article/blog entry: Writing and Hosting a Web Service in the SharePoint 2010 Demo Virtual Machine http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericwhite/archive/2010/07/16/writing-and-hosting-a-w eb-service-in-the-sharepoint-2010-demo-virtual-machine.aspx the author refers to a test virtual machine image with SharePoint 2010 configured: "My favorite way to develop/experiment/write about SharePoint 2010 is to use the 2010 Information Worker Demonstration and Evaluation Virtual Machine. It is a great virtual machine - finely tuned, and has all of the necessary software installed, including SharePoint Server 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Office 2010, etc. I do on occasion build my own virtual machines when absolutely necessary, but I consider it a necessary evil, not something that I enjoy." The link directs to "http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=21099" but VM isn't available there for downloading. Do you know is it still available for free downloading from MS web site? (Was it a free download?) Thank you. -- Shamil
