Exchange 2010 UM technet lab

Exchange 2010 UM technet lab ...tried twice, first part is fine. But I couldn't finish the phone validation bits.

when I tried to post a feed back, got a internal error 500. the message is error=failed to get device allocation. I wonder real phone device is needed to complete the lab.

anyway, I would not complain since its free. virtual labs have improved lot in the Exchange 2010 series, that may be due to my home DSL upgraded.

IE8 and Technet exchange 2010 virtual labs

I can't get IE8 working with Technet 2010 virtual lab.
however, IE6 in W7 XP mode works, so I can complete a couple of the E2010 virtual labs.
