Best Self-Hosting Solution for TFS 2010?


I want to install TFS 2010 on my own machine - a Dell Laptop with 8GB RAM, running Windows 7. Now, since installing on Win7 means I can't run SharePoint or Reports, and I don't want to reformat my machine to Win 2008, I need to virtualize.

I would like something that I can have always on, and treat like a server on my LAN, or at the very least, something that I can activate quickly, when needed. Oh, and I'd like it to be free :).

As far as I can tell, my options are MS Virtual PC, Virtual Box, VMWare.

What would be my best option? Are there any other options?

Thanks,
Assaf

  • You can either use MS Virtual PC or VMWare. I have been using TFS2010 installed on MS Virtual PC and its working fine.
