You go to a dealer, and take your chosen car out for a spin. Now, in a unique move to bring the virtual test drives of technology right to your Web browser, Compaq and Oracle have teamed up to create industry-first "road tests" of innovative Internet products from both companies, including Oracle's market-leading leading Internet Platform technologies on Compaq's NonStop(TM) eBusiness solutions infrastructure. Offered free of charge and featuring Oracle8i(TM), Oracle(R) Web DB, Compaq Tru64(TM) UNIX(R) and Linux on Compaq, the "test drives" are accessible simultaneously through Compaq's TestDrive site and the Oracle Technology Network. And this is one popular dealership -- more than 2500 ISVs have already signed up to take the demos out for a spin. Even better -- you don't need a driver's license, and you can go as fast as you want. NOTE: Oracle is a registered trademark and Oracle8i is a trademark or registered trademark of Oracle Corp.
