Free downloads of Windows Vista Enterprise come as an integer part of a package featuring additional examples of software offerings at absolutely no charge. Microsoft is delivering a collection of free editions of Windows Vista Enterprise and Windows XP for testing purposes. However, the Redmond company's latest versions of the Windows platform are complemented by a plethora of free trial downloads. In this context, one item which constantly slipped in the background of Microsoft's two main cash cows is Exchange Server 2007. Still, Windows

Vista, the Office 2007 System and Exchange Server 2007 are joined at the hip and the Redmond company is enabling users to test-drive both Windows Vista Enterprise and Exchange Server 2007.

At the beginning of July 2007, Microsoft updated the Windows Vista 30-Day Eval VHD. The pre-configured Virtual Hard Disk image offers users a chance to test Vista Enterprise, the edition reserved for Microsoft's Software Assurance customers. Designed to integrate seamlessly with both Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server, virtualized Enterprise is an experience that you should not miss. You can of course access "Install Free Windows Vista Enterprise and Windows XP SP2 IN(!) Windows Vista" in order to get an accurate idea of what exactly Microsoft is offering before you jump in for yourselves.

Soon after the refresh of Windows Vista Enterprise, Microsoft has also updated Exchange Server 2007 VHD - 32-bit version. And since Exchange Server 2007 goes hand in hand with Vista, this is a product that you will not want to miss. Both the Vista and Exchange VHDs are time bombed and will expire after 30 days.

"This download enables you evaluate how Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 together can help create an optimized messaging system for your organization. Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 provides built-in protection technologies to help keep the e-mail system up and running and better protected from outside threats while allowing employees to work from wherever they are using a variety of clients including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Web Access, and mobile devices. Exchange Server 2007 makes it easier for IT to deliver these new capabilities to their organizations by making the messaging environment easier to manage and more cost efficient," reads Microsoft's description of the Exchange VHD.
