My colleagues often ask me how to get hands-on experience when a sandbox environment is not available. Fortunately, Microsoft has thought about this and made the Virtual Lab series available FREE on TechNet.

TechNet Virtual Labs: SharePoint Products and Technologies

TechNet Virtual Labs: Microsoft Office 2007 System

Through these VM sessions, you get first-hand experience in SharePoint technologies and Office 2007 system. You will learn and practice installation, organizing content, managing user permissions, creating Web Parts for custom tasks, and much more. Enjoy and welcome to SharePoint-land!
