The Windows Vista Demo Readiness Toolkit is now available for download. Although the focus of this week has been on the demonstrations of
Windows 7 provided by Microsoft, the Redmond company is not yet ready to give up on Windows Vista. This position was strongly emphasized by Chairman
Bill Gates and Chief Executive Officer
Steve Ballmer at the D6 - All Things Digital conference where they dismissed Vista as being a mistake or a failure. In this context, the
Windows Vista Demo Readiness Toolkit comes to prove that Microsoft is still focusing
on its current Windows client.
"Do you demonstrate Windows Vista features? Or maybe you demo 3rd party applications, services, solutions and/or hardware with Windows Vista? With the Demo Readiness Toolkit, your workload just got a whole lot lighter! With a comprehensive demo script, sample content, and a preconfigured installation including user accounts and applications, you have everything you need to demo with Windows Vista with virtually no effort. No more searching for the right software, creating user accounts, tweaking settings, or writing product/feature messaging - now you can focus on your pitch, NOT on building a demo environment," Microsoft revealed.
The Windows Vista Demo Readiness Toolkit comes packed as the DRTp.9.0.3.x86.iso, a 4.4 GB download. Users will have to burn the ISO on a bootable DVD and simply install the toolkit. Microsoft advised that the installation process is set up to completely erase the hard drive where the resource is deployed. In the end, the toolkit will be able to transform a machine into a Windows Vista Demonstration PC, revealed the Redmond company.
"System requirements to run the Windows Vista Demo Readiness Toolkit are the same as those needed to run Windows Vista. (...) So the next time you have meetings, tradeshow booths, keynotes, or events with demos, use the DRT as your demo platform," Microsoft added.
