微软已经提供了带实例数据的和动手实验室的Visual Studio 2010 RC 虚拟机，这对用于评估和学习使用是个非常不错的资源，虚拟机里头带了一个简单的ASP.NET MVC 2 的程序,演示Visual Studio 2010的软件生命周期管理（ALM），另外还带有9个动手实验。

这个虚拟机可以在三个平台上运行，其中有一份文档说明如何使用虚拟机的一定要下载（Working with the Visual Studio 2010 Virtual Machine.docx），下载地址分别是：

• Visual Studio 2010 RC (Hyper-V)
• Visual Studio 2010 RC (Windows [7] Virtual PC)
• Visual Studio 2010 RC (Virtual PC 2007 SP1)

虚拟机整个下载下来大概要8G，这么大的文件下载起来也费劲，可以使用一个专门的免费下载工具来下载 Free Download Manager 。通过这个工具将下列的地址中选择合适的地址进行下载：
