Download Free Windows Vista Enterprise - Courtesy of Microsoft

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Downl...se-70179.shtml

This is basically a 30 day VHD (virtual machine) trial you will need to
download the VPC free software to use this.

Microsoft is offering Windows Vista Enterprise as a free download in
combination with the Office 2007 Professional System. While all editions of
the Windows Vista operating system can be test driven from anywhere from a
month to 120 days, this copy of Vista Enterprise is limited to only 30 days.
This coincides with the Initial Grace period of the latest operating system
from Microsoft.

The limitation is associated with the whole Vista Enterprise and Office 2007
professional bundle. The marriage of Microsoft's flagship products comes in
the church of virtualization. The download Microsoft is providing is in fact
nothing more than a pre-configured Virtual Hard disk. The Microsoft Office
2007 Professional VHD is essentially an installation of Windows Vista
Enterprise with Office 2007 Professional deployed on top of the platform.

This is not the first time that Microsoft has made the bundle available for
download, but the VHD was updated on November 5. "This VHD contains both the
30 day edition of Windows Vista Enterprise Edition and an evaluation of
Office 2007 Professional which includes Publisher, Excel, Outlook, Outlook,
PowerPoint, Access, and Word. See how with these new platforms can simplify
how people work together, find information and improve business insight,
help protect and manage content, and reduce IT costs and improve security.
Test drive today to experience how Windows Vista and Office 2007 work better
together", Microsoft informed.
