Windows Vista Enterprise now available as a VHD

Now this is welcomed news.  Volker has announced that Windows Vista Enterprise is available through the VHD Test Drive program.  You can read more in his post “VHD Test Drive - Vista Images” and a snippet is below:

The VHD Test Drive team has posted new images for download on Microsoft Connect. I guess many of you have been waiting for this. We just finished uploading the first 2 Vista images. Yeah, that’s right, Vista. The first images is our Vista base image. Vista Enterprise. The second images - also Vista based - is Vista Enterprise plus VSTS. How’s that?

…

While the images on Microsoft Connect are meant for ISV partners, a similar set of VHD images is available for MSDN and TechNet subscribers for testing.

I’ve had a quick look on the Connect and MSDN websites, but could not see the Vista VHD.  I did find the “Vista and Visual Studio 2005 VHD“ .  However when Volker announced the “Combined SQL and Exchange VHD” it took about 10 days for it to appear on Microsoft Downloads.

Keep you posted!
