Vaasnet now has a SharePoint Foundation 2010 virtual machine template available for your testing of the features available in the new version of SharePoint.
SharePoint Foundation 2010 is the free version of SharePoint that installs on top of Windows Server 2008. You can take a look at SharePoint Foundation 2010 quickly and easily by starting a preconfigured SharePoint Foundation 2010 Virtual Machine at Vaasnet.com. Just start the virtual machine and then browse to the public IP address in your favorite browser to see what SharePoint Foundation 2010 has to offer.
In addition, with SharePoint Workspace 2010, you can get an offline copy of your SharePoint team site allowing you to add/edit your documents in any SharePoint document library easily and allow SharePoint Workspace 2010 to handle the file synchronization for you. If you want to try out SharePoint Workspace 2010 with SharePoint Foundation 2010, make sure you follow these other configuration steps required for configuring SharePoint Foundation 2010 for SharePoint Workspace 2010.
Vaasnet.com is a new Internet startup that provides preconfigured virtual machines that are ready for you to start and begin using right away (such as this virtual machine with SharePoint Foundation 2010 already installed). Vaasnet.com takes the hassle out of downloading and installing the Windows Server 2008 operating system and SharePoint Foundation 2010 so that you can quickly log in and begin trying out the new features of SharePoint Foundation 2010.
