Microsoft offering free Vista "test drive"

Microsoft recently unveiled a new web site called “Windows Vista Test Drive” designed to allow business users, consumers, and the merely curious to find out what running Microsoft’s latest operating system might be like without actually having to install it. After getting through this process, the user is presented with a web page that mimics Windows Vista’s desktop, although all the options on the Start Menu have been replaced with links to various “exercises” that one can enter to find out more about Vista’s new features.

This is actually a pretty cool demo if you are not familiar with Vista at all. Of course, I couldn’t give the demo a good try since it won’t function in Linux. I’m sure that’s a mere coincidence though.
