Microsoft has released the The Windows Demo Toolkit Foundation Suite which makes it easier to demo Windows 7 to your customers or clients. This is very helpful if you are presenting to a small group or to your company regarding Windows 7 or you can use the toolkit as a starting point for demoing your own products and services. The toolkit includes demos for Consumers and Enterprises. Whether selling Windows OS, Windows Live, or related products and services, these demos give you a foundation to build your story!



The Windows Demo Toolkit is available in the form of an iso image which includes:
  • Windows 7 Beta Ultimate (build 7000)
  • Windows Live Wave 3
  • Internet Explorer 8
  • Office 2007 Ultimate
  • Forefront Client Security
  • Windows Automation Toolkit
  • Application Compatibility Toolkit
  • Click-through demos
  • Pre-configured settings



The Windows Demo Toolkit will be available to Microsoft Certified or Gold Certified partners towards the end of April, but for now you can download it from Microsoft Connect by joining the Windows Demo Toolkit program.

The Windows Demo Toolkit Foundation Suite will be refreshed at major Windows 7 milestones.

Ooh, this is nice! And... it includes Office 2007 Ultimate! XD

Unlicensed, I'd assume, to prevent people from abusing this... right?

I checked; it doesn't come with product keys. Also, after reading the setup guide, I think it comes with Office 2007 Enterprise. Am I mistaken?

I doubt it's full function, just "looks" like full function.
The outcome is to show users how it works, it could wipe out / reset everything on reboot even.

That would actually be pretty cool... perfect thing to use on those store demo units then, huh?
