I agree that just about everyone is going to virtualize. However, we didn't want to be too specific in terms of what virtualization platform to use, because you can use the one that you like the most and curretnly have in place. Sure, we'd love you to use Hyper-V, but if you test with ESX or VMware Workstation, those virtualization platofrms will work great too. I agree that that our books and MS Learning should move in this direction and I hope they'll take a look at this. At it stands, we're trying to get all of our Technet and blog content to use this new format so that we always start in a standard environment and you can always restore your base configuration to quickly get up to speed on the product or technology you're interested in.

Thanks! -Tom

Like the look of this, although I think reality is that most people will virtualise this wheras you seem to assume people will use physical boxes. Perhaps you could start off with a Hyper-V based base config instead?

My main comment is that it would be really useful if MS used this base for their training material e.g. the MCTS books for SCCM, or Exchange etc ould have you need the base config with these modifications then you can start this course.
