I've got several of the Windows buildbots, and could add this. Is there benefit to just starting with one (I've got XP, Win7 and Win8) first to save some time?

My only real concern is to verify that this will co-exist properly with the existing VS installations and buildbot build process. I note that the download page says not to use on production computers. That's probably just a CYA, and I don't mind if VS itself has issues, but if it risks compromising other aspects of the buildbot, then I think testing on a different machine would be preferred.

Is anything aside from VS 2015 itself (e.g., the Ultimate 2015 download on the preview page) needed? I'm assuming not.
