VSTS 2010 Beta 1 Installation

Is easy.  Very easy in fact, upgrade isn’t much more difficult either!  There is a fantastic video showing how to download and install the bits need to test VSTS 2010 beta 1 at the 10-4 home on msdn.com

I’d recommend having a look around the site, 10-4 has some very good videos on there that are worth watching.

One last thing before I sign off this post, Reporting Services and SharePoint are no longer requirements for TFS.  In fact, if you upgrade to TFS 2010 (in the beta at least) you have an option not to configure these on the upgraded server.  I know there are plenty of people using TFS only for source control so the next release should make a lot of people happy.  Of course for the people who use everything and have massive instances running, you will not be disappointed either, trust me on that!
