Yes! Yes! YESSSSSSSSSSS! It's downloadable!
The VPC Image is downloadable for everyone, which contains the OBA Composition Reference Toolkit presented by me several times in Hungary (Hungarian Architecture Forum, Visual Studio 2008 Launch, etc.). The OBA Composer is downloadable for several weeks, but needs a really complitated server environment. The newly accessible virtual environment is a really big help for us - could you imagine that?
The fully installed VPC can be downloaded from http://connect.microsoft.com. After log in, you can sign to the "OBA Reference Architecture Packs" connect program. Here you can download the VPC image, and you can find some details about it as well (for example user credentials).
The documentation of OBA Composition Reference Toolkit, hands on lab, etc. are downloadable from related MSDN site.
And finally: we're waiting for the next version of this toolkit to the second half of April. In that release we will find a real client-server Composer application, incremental provisioning feature, OBA Services in the SSP, and other powerful and interesting things.
