Orcas Beta 2 Automation Planning

I am in the process of finalizing the C# automation matrix for Beta 2. One of the scenarios that I feel receives very little coverage today, and that I would like some help with, is the interaction of Visual Studio with other software or machine configurations.

Have there been any pain points that you have run into when attempting to use Visual Studio in the past or install it that we could have made better? How is your dev box configured? Do you run as an admin or normal user? What about on Vista? Have you ever needed to install VS on a domain controller? What about a server in a DMZ that is seeing an issue that is not reproducible in the dev environment?

Anyway... let me know your thoughts and I'll see what I can do in order to incorporate this into our testing somehow.

Are there things that you would like to hear about from the C# testing/automation perspective?

I was just walking through the hall here at MS an notice a poster with a penguin on it. The first (and correct) thing that crossed my mind what Open Source and Linux. The poster was an advertisment for Port 25 which is a community that offers a look into the Microsoft Open Source Lab.

It doesn't seem that there is a lot going on in the community site right now, but I would expect to see more coming soon. It also appears that the team and Novell are both hiriing.
