Please suspend your transfer or do not start it until mine is complete. (Give me another couple hours.)
Do not try to do a side-by-side install on your main machine. I haven't tried this with this build, but I've found in the past that side-by-side installs aren't perfected until late in the product cycle and we're still very early. This isn't something you want to try out yourself -- bad side effects can cause older versions to not function. Let someone else give it a go first.
If you're going to install to a VPC and already have a VPC w/the PDC VS.NET Whidbey, start uninstalling the PDC Whidbey pronto or create a new OS image. Uninstalling PDC Whidbey in a VPC running at low priority (the default, I believe) can take a long time.
And finally, don't expect to get the bits quickly. You're going to be competing with a bunch of other hungry geeks for bandwidth/resources and your transfer times won't be optimal. Acknowledge this and be happy that you'll get the bits eventually.
