Visual Studio Rosario August 2007 CTP (including TFS) is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8450EFF5-24AD-44C3-AB91-1ED88EF2F4F0&displaylang=en. As the installation/setup is not complete, only a VPC is being provided.
Remember you will need a Base image. If you downloaded any of the Orcas CTP's - you already have it on your machine. Otherwise get it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8450EFF5-24AD-44C3-AB91-1ED88EF2F4F0&displaylang=en
Downloading the rest of these CTP's can be a tedious task. Microsoft send all requests through a single hostname: download.microsoft.com - and because of the built-in restriction to 2 connections per server in WinInet, based on the HTTP 1.1 specification - you cannot download more than two of the parts of Rosario at the same time. The KB article tells you how to increase the limit.
My preferred way though is to use a port of the unix tool wget (download from: http://pages.interlog.com/~tcharron/wgetwin.html) and provide it the list of URL's.
For convenience, here is the list of URL's for Visual Studio Rosario August CTP:
