I am pleased to announce that we now have available a Hyper-V VHD release of the SharePoint 2010 Template Pack for Commerce Server 2009. This is a 64-bit Hyper-V image – as SharePoint 2010 requires a 64-bit operating system. Hence, Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V is required to run the VM along with at least 4 GB of RAM for the virtual machine.

To obtain this, please:

• Navigate to http://connect.microsoft.com/
• Sign in or create a profile using your Windows LiveID
• Join the Commerce Server Feedback program (if you are not already a member)
• Fill out the survey to request the VHD – and you will be granted access once your request has been submitted and approved (generally takes 1 business day)

Hope this helps – and enjoy!
