Yes. I got an email from Microsoft today recommending that people copy their data off the VPC and onto another drive as it may not be accessible after Nov. 1. Changing the system date back may not work. Here's some of what I got:

We know many of you have been testing the Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 VPC images, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default.aspx. It has been brought to our attention that the current Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 VPC images will expire on November 1, 2007, rather than March 15, 2008 as originally announced. It is strongly encouraged that you take all necessary steps before November 1, 2007 to back up all your projects and move your Team Foundation Server data to an alternate location. For instructions on moving your TFS data please refer to the article Moving Team Foundation Server, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404879(vs.90).aspx, located on the MSDN Library.

For the latest information and up to date information on this please refer to the Visual Studio Developer Center, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default.aspx.

FAQ
Q. Will my data be available after November 1, 2007?
A. This is still being researched, however, currently the understanding is that customers will NOT be able to access their date after November 1st unless the data is moved to an alternate installation location.

Q. Can I reset my system date to re-enable the OS image?
A. Again there is still research being done, however, from the current understanding of the problem resetting the system date back DOES NOT re-enable the OS image.




>Yes but they will provide a newer VPC image soon. The only thing you need to do is to copy your data from the image elsewhere.
