I have been using the Office 2010 Beta now for the past few months and I absolutely love it. However, I think I will love it even more once I am in a fully integrated environment with SharePoint 2010, Exchange 2010 and Windows 2008 R2. Fortunately, you can have a look at all of this great new technology without spending a bunch of time downloading, installing and configuring the software. Microsoft has released a pre-configured Hyper-V virtual machine bundle that includes Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 pre-configured and pre-populated with some data for the fictional Contoso.com organization. I imagine this would be a great sales tool if you are trying to convince your customers to upgrade to the latest and greatest Microsoft products.
