Vista - Vista as Trial?

Hi,

is there a way to get Vista as a Trial Version?
Currently i develop Drivers for 2000/XP and
i found out that some of them cant be installed
or even loaded, though they are signed for
Vista. Any way to get a legal vista Trial Copy
if any available,...


Best regards

Borrow the retail DVD from a friend. You can install it without a install
key and use it for 30 days without activating the system. You do want it as
a trial after all. 30 days should be sufficient. After 30 days you will be
locked out.

And actually that trial can be extended at least 3 times. Check out

Where are you going to legally download it without paying for it up front?

Can't you just download, burn and boot the Live CD? - Oh, that's right,
that's just Linux.

There is no legitimate download source outside of Microsoft and you
need to pay to get it from Microsoft.
