Easy way to learn Vista, while also learning how to demo it

Many of you have Windows Vista, but now need to understand what you can do with it.  Rather than reading one of the nice big books, you could go look at the www.windowsvistamagazine.co.uk and read all the great info there.  You could also go and look at the training available on the Microsoft Partner site.

Finally, you could go and get all the tools you need to build a demo system, including the "scripts" for home and business use and then work through them - it will not take more than an hour to work through them, but by the end of it you will know most of the interesting features of both products.

Windows Vista for Partners - Your DRT - the site includes:

 

Step 1.

Before getting started, learn what it takes to create your own DRT. Download and review the Windows Vista Demo Setup Guide.

Step 2.
Gain access to the latest tools for DRT development. Download the zip file, which contains

  • Sample documents
  • Demo files
  • Sample applications
  • Management shortcuts

Step 3.
Need a little direction on how to set up your demo? Download a demo script.

(Consumer and Business demo scripts are available.)

Step 4.
Showcase your solutions with Windows Vista through your new demo account.

Hi, I suspect the Vista DRT has been taken down as we are now focused on Windows 7 - partner.microsoft.com/40103571

thanks
