うーん、Virtual PCイメージですか...。64bit化した立場としては、非常につらい...。
VPCイメージ(vhd?)としての配布はすごくいいとは思うんですけど(各OS標準環境のvhdをテスト用に配布してクレ)、いかんせんVirtual PC自体が動かない状況では...。2007プリーズ。
(補足: vhdVirtual PC/Virtual Serverのイメージファイル。PC/Serverで相互に互換性があるので、イメージだけをあちこちにコピーして実行することもできます)

C#3.0やLINQは興味はあるけど、まだいらないので、XAML関係だけなんとかならんですかねぇ? 特記されてないから、そのあたりはRC1と変わってないのかな?
