Continuous Integration using TFS with VM for Build

What is the best way to configure a Continuous integration ?

We have multiple Teams developing Projects in VB, C# web based projects, Windows based Project etc.

Trying to setup VM for Build. Since each project requires lot of dependent installation and even different .NET frame work, i though about using project Specific VM where the Build should Run. Is that a feasible scenario. Is it possible to configure TFS to Instantiate a Particular VM and then run the build on that VM and if successful Deploy it to specified machine other then VM that it built on.

Any articles/Links to setup such environment for Continuous integration is appreciated.

Trying to remain on Microsoft Software, but will consider other option if they are really easy to implement

When you say that each project requires a lot of dependant installations, do the dependancies need to be installed or just on the file system for referencing purposes? – James Reed
They need to be installed – NSS

you can use Octopus for Continuous Integration and Delivery purposes. you can define environments in which your software installed. you can easily define your release steps.
