Ever wanted to try try out Windows Vista Ultimate before shelling out money to actually buy it?

Microsoft brings a stripped-down online version of its flagship product to enable its current and new customers to try out Windows Vista Ultimate online for free to help them make decision before actually buying it.

The service allows us to try out Vista in a remote desktop web session using Internet Explorer, with out needing to install the OS on our desktop. We can also explore all the new features in Vista like 'instant search', 'windows media center' etc. or just follow guided exercises and watch videos.

Microsoft also has a similar service to test drive Office 2007 to see how it helps us better manage documents, organize our workload, and collaborate with coworkers—not just from our desk, but from almost anywhere!
