The three new TFS Training Kits are unreal... as in virtual...

Visual Studio ALM + Team Foundation Server Blog - Three new TFS Training Modules at MSDN Virtual Labs

At the recent ALM Summit it was clear people are hungry for TFS Training. Always quick to help out, the folks over at MSDN Virtual Labs have introduced three new TFS Training Modules!

MSDN Virtual Lab: TFS Training Kit: Module 1

After completing this lab, you will be better able to create and delete team projects, set a process template as the default template for all new projects, fill out work item fields with text and integer fields, which can either be entered freely or from pre-defined values, link an existing work item to a new work item, creating the latter in the process, create a new work item in both Excel and Project, modify multiple work items in Excel and Project, run queries that have been predefined for you, create a new work item query, and modify an existing query.

MSDN Virtual Lab: TFS Training Kit: Module 2

After completing this lab, you will be better able to map a folder in the team project’s source-control repository to a local directory, add files to the source-control repository and check them in, check-out files and compare their versions, configure parameterized reports and run them, export reports in different formats, create a new Team Project using SharePoint integration, upload a document into SharePoint document management, and add a link from a TFS 2010 work item to the document managed in SharePoint.

MSDN Virtual Lab: TFS Training Kit: Module 3

After completing this lab, you will be better able to create a new user story and link it to a new task, run a work item query for locating the user story, create a new Team Project from the command-line using Power Tools, modify an existing work item type and set the allowed values in one of its fields, configure project-level security information for a TFS team project, configure access rights to the work items in an area of the project, and configure a team project’s source control.

I've always thought these kind of virtual labs to be pretty darn cool. You get a play VM, hosted by Microsoft and the Lab materials, so all you have to do is click and learn, no installation required! (well, mostly :)
