New click2try Site Offers Better Alternative to Open Source Software Download,
Free Trial
,----[ Quote ]
| To open new markets for developers and offer business and IT professionals
| real value, click2try has launched an Open Source software Community Web site
| that makes it easy to find, try, evaluate and use Open Source software -- for
| free. Unique in its delivery, click2try bypasses the typical Open Source
| software download. Free access to Open Source software applications on
| click2try occurs in a private, virtual environment instead. Pre-configured,
| fully functional applications are hosted on click2try's servers and run right
| from a user's desktop. Developers benefit from an expanded user base as more
| professionals experience the benefits, see the value, and contribute to the
| growing popularity of Open Source software.

| It's perfectly reasonable to expect people to save up for two months to

| money on Vista Basic, wouldn't you? I'm sure all you need to do is
| tighten those screws, and the giant Chinese turnip will start
| squirting sweet, sweet blood to sustain you.
