I thought I would get a dialogue going about Microsoft Trial SharePoint VPC.  My new consulting company has me looking into it as a viable tools for proof of concepts and demoing purposes.  Well, I have a few concerns.  One, the VPC has a trial version of Visual Studio 2005, which the trial version does not install the templates for VS 2005 and does not have a command prompt for your use.  Therefore, I try to install the templates for wss 3.0 but no templates are installed into VS 2005.  So I can't build a web part(save for from scratch).  I can't build a site definition or any of the like.  I'm very discouraged by this discovery.  I am currently attempting to get VSTA on the trial version to program with InfoPath 2007, but I am doubtful it will work...  Please if anyone has attempted to use the trial vpc for such tasks and been successful or had the same luck as I have.  Please post your comments here!
