Just wondering if theres any good sites for simulating Vista and other OS's. Basically I would like to see what others see if I'm trying to help them with a Vista computer over the phone.
 
So do you want to connect to them or jsut run the software in a virtual machine?
 
Even with vmware and other virtual machines, you have to have a copy of Vista to install into it. You won't find any free simulator, unless you're into getting pirated copies of OS's.

They may have given you a free copy of the vmware virtual machine, but they didn't give you a free copy of Vista to install in the virtual machine. There are places you can get Vista images to run in vmware, but it's illegal.

I didn't mean you won't find any free VMs; I meant you won't find any free Vista simulator without having a copy of Vista.

Google Image has a screenshot for every part of Vista. Still wont help you understand how ti works....
