The following is basically a copy of my expected setup - I have finally had the time to build a new VHD and verify that this configuration will work for the labs we will be doing, although there are a couple of small issues... At least I have found them and know how to get around them!

• Windows 7 Ultimate (64)
• Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RTM (you can get a trial edition here)


• Web Install http://bit.ly/VS2010UltimateTrialWeb


• ISO - http://bit.ly/VS2010UltimateTrialISO


• SQL Server 2008 Express


• Install the AdventureWorks sample DB


• Install IIS and Enable ASP.NET


• Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 1.1


• Windows Azure SDK (Feb 2010)


• Windows Azure platform AppFabric SDK V1.0 (April Update)


• Hotfix: Correct WCF metadata ...


• Windows Azure Platform Training Kit (December 2009 Update)

With this setup you will be ready to hit the ground running and work through the hands-on-labs we'll be doing.
