Errors in Virtual PC image Orcas March 2007 CTP

Just a quick note on the March 2007 experience of Visual Studio Orcas:

If you have trouble or failures like Mike and a lot of others did, don't use the Virtual PC image, but instead create your own. Download the self-extracting installers for VS Orcas and TFS Orcas. Also, do NOT install VS2005 and Orcas side-by-side. This is the cause of all your pain and error messages (well, not all, but the a lot of the ones related to this subject). Why, o why did Microsoft install VS2005 Team Suite together with Orcas when even the release notes say this causes these issues.

Just so at least you know. Happiness continues after that.

Alex,

You hit the nail on the head. Why does Microsoft gives you a full blown VPC, while you are only intressted in one part. I will create a new VPC myself.
