Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Virtual Machine available

New CRM v4 Virtual Machine is out. This is the final released v4 product, not a beta pre-release VM that was only available until now. It expires in April 2009.

A word of warning, if you are still using the v3 CRM VM it will expire in April 2008. Type Start-->Run-->WinVer in the VM to get the exact date.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Virtual Machine

These VM machines are excellent as the requirements for setting up a fully functional CRM environment with AD controller and Exchange Router would take quite some time. Used with Virtual PC undo and differencing disks it can get you up and running quite quickly and usable for multiple projects.

I am in Microsoft in Sandyford for "whats new in v4" course tomorrow so I could be ranting on about the new features in v4 in the coming days. I have started to come across a lot of limitations with v3 during the few CRM customisation projects I have been involved with so hopefully v4 will make life a lot easier.

While I am on about VMs here is a link to the Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite VMs.
