Wanna try Windows Vista, but don't know where to go or how to get it? Now it's virtualized on the web! Check it out at https://vistatestdrive.com.

Here's the disclaimer:

The test drive experience is currently available only to web visitors from the United States and Canada.

· The test drive is intended for evaluation purposes only.

· The test drive requires Internet Explorer 6 or later, a browser plug-in, and a broadband Internet connection. A minimum 1024 x 768 screen resolution is recommended.

· There is no product support for the test drive. You are welcome to participate in a Microsoft Windows Vista newsgroup to share your trial experiences with others and ask for advice. Find a Windows Vista Newsgroup.

· The Windows Vista version hosted in the test drive contains most of the functionality of the regular versions, but browsing the internet is not enabled.

· You may notice a slight delay or pause as you experience the product. This is due to the fact that this is a hosted trial and is dependent upon your bandwidth, local machine resources, etc. This does not necessarily represent the actual experience you will have with Windows Vista if it were installed on your PC.

    Murph, Was part of the crowd in Rochester, NY on that trying day where demo's were not working quite as planned...still a good show however. I ran across this today, and wondered what your take on it is. http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=29

    Yeah, that busted KVM switch did throw a spanner in the works for a bit there, eh? I appreciate the difference in perspective, but ultimately I think it's a distinction in approach. I don't think we are really that far apart, as evidenced by Ms. Rutkowska's comment '"I believe that the Vista security model is a good thing and that users can benefit from it, but Microsoft must change their attitude and start treating them as security mechanisms." And in her comments on Security Focus http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/425/2 Thanks for bringing it up.
