A cornice window treatment is one way your window treatments will not go out of style. A cornice can be described as a topper, a valance or a wooden box that covers the upper portion of a window. Sometimes home decorators will use these window coverings to match the furniture in their room.

Is there any way I can get a free copy of Windows Vista to learn on?

I am in the IT department of our company and we are currently running Windows XP Professional. I believe they are talking about upgrading to Windows Vista, but neither I nor anyone else here has any experience with it. Is there a way we can get a free copy of Vista just to play around with and learn it, *legally*?

First off, I'll give you a link to Ed Bott's blog over at ZDNet:

He has been "evaluating" Vista for some time, and he gives quite a few nice tips and tweaks.

Next, I would suggest that you check out TechNet, and see about purchasing a subscription-depending on which one, they will give you free software to "Practice" on; not just Vista, but virtually everything that they produce. Perhaps you can convince your boss that it is an investment in education.
