BI Virtual labs on MSDN - specific to data mining and top 10 classed in Tech-ed.

As blogged here before Virtual Labs are very handy for the new users and existing professionals to test out new features without disturbing their own platform. In this scenario Microsoft events are helping the users by providing access to their virtual platform for BI & Relational Databases that are built in latest operating system with new SQL Server version (2005 onwards).

During last year Tech-ed coference I have seen much rush towards BI - Data Mining stalls where users were very much interested to try out them, may the ones who missed to get hands on can try now by going to ThisWebcast that will give you much of route.

 As it says:

After completing this lab, you will be more familiar with preparing Excel data for building mining models. You will walk-through the process of applying a mining model to a new data set and then view the results in Excel. This will be done by acting as a representative from a sporting goods company that wants to take advantage of historical data on existing customers to create a marketing campaign to find out which prospects are most likely to purchase a bike.
