Chris Sells recently put out a call for a VPC image of Longhorn. And someone on the blogs.msdn.com site mentioned something similar. This got me thinking, wouldn't it be nice if MSDN downloads had .vhd files?

I can see how it might not be helpful during an OS beta, since not everyone is running the same hardware. And there probably would need to be some changes to the installation process, so the activiation/license code could be entered before the first use instead of before the file copy.

Sure would be sweet...
