Free Visual Studio Training online

Andy sent me a link to the Visual
Studio Hosted Experience. It’s basically a whole bunch of labs related to Visual
Studio and the technologies around it (BizTalk, VSS etc). I like the way the
labs are delivered. You are basically given a Terminal Server session onto a machine
instance with the lab installed on it and given free rein to follow the tutorial at
your own pace, try out new things etc. Very interesting. I wonder what the scalability
story is behind the service.

The labs include:
