The last time I blogged about this training kit, Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Training Kit – February Release (aka the VS2010 RC Compatible release) – We’re talking 602MB of VS/.Net training stuff here…, the download size was 193MB, 602MB uncompressed. Now the download size is 423MB and 1.8GB uncompressed (wow, 3x's)

In short, if you're looking to learn about anything in the above list, this is a must download/use resource.
