Windows Vista Business Test Drive

Windows Vista Business Test Drive

By: Ionut Popa  In: Technology  Updated: Dec 5, 2011

If you’re not sure that Vista is worth buying you can now get a clearer picture of how the new OS looks like by accessing a demo version in Microsoft’s Vista Business Test Drive program. All you have to do is provide a valid email address, and browse with Internet Explorer 6 or higher. Firefox fans are like always excluded from this pleasure.

Once you get there you shouldn’t hold your breath, the website it just a PR action. You only have access to 4 main sections: Safe, Efficient, Connected, Collaborative. From those you can see some demos of features Microsoft included in Vista Business, but only if you are in a designated country or geographic area. Unfortunately I’m not from US, or other area Microsoft wants to show it’s features.

Start menu is very simple and of course is targeted for buying methods and wordspread among Microsoft users
Start menu is simple, scary simple

For more advanced tech heads I recommend trying the Release Candidate version of Vista, if they can’t wait till January 30th, when Windows Vista will see it’s end user launch. You can no longer download RC2 from Microsoft’s website but I’m pretty sure it can be found on torrents.
