For all of you that were waiting for that day the good news arrived... we don’t need to wait anymore, the bits are available at TechNet subscriber download area. Assuming a medium/fast internet access you should have no “Time” problems to download the 3,395.68 (MB) of the ISO for the x64 Bit version of System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2, if your internet access is slow or if you’re at some place were internet access is not very reliable, remember that you always have the download manager from TechNet that allows you to pause and resume the download whenever necessary.
