The SharePoint team just released a fully installed SharePoint 2010 VHD file. This will same you a ton of time when you are setting up your development environment.

The download contains 2 VHDs, 1 for SharePoint 2010 (and Office 2010) and 1 for Exchange 2010. Running both virtual machines will allow you to test out workflow and email scenarios with SharePoint and Office.

This is the same VHD that is used to complete the Hands On Labs in our SharePoint 2010 online training course.
