Democratizing Application Lifecycle Management

Visual Studio Team System 2010 continues to build the platform for functional equality and shared commitment across an organization’s ALM process.

Esta informacion fue obtenida del sitio de descarga, la descarga total es de aproximadamente 7 Gbs y se trata de una imagen de Virtual PC, por lo que necesitamos tener instalado Virtual PC 2007 para poder probar Visual Studio 2010. los requerimientos son los siguientes:

• 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.

Como se pueden dar cuenta los requerimientos son bastante pesados, se necesita una gran cantidad de recursos para ejecutar esta version CTP de Visual, esperemos la version final no gaste tantos recursos como esta.

Bueno, sin mas rodeos aqui les dejo el link para los interesados en probarlo, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=922B4655-93D0-4476-BDA4-94CF5F8D4814&displaylang=en.
