Several people were asking me at the end of my session how they could start evaluating VSTS 2010 and I promised to post the information here, so here it is...
I created a couple of tinyurl.com links for the people that wanted to write it down while they were there:

Those links refer to the VPC download and a blog post from Brian Keller about dealing with software activation messages you will get while running the VPC. But in addition to reading that blog post you should also read Grant Holiday's post because of the VPC also expires: http://blogs.msdn.com/granth/archive/2008/12/10/visual-studio-2010-ctp-vpc-will-expire-jan-1-2009.aspx and you will need to disable the time synchronization setting.
Also, there were a few people in my talk had not seen visual-studio consistently before so I figured I would have a link to some upcoming webcasts that you can look at to get familiar with the functionality of visual studio team system:
