When is the trial version coming?

I know that you can install it without the Key.

But, I still need the DVD or the .iso of it to do it. I don't have it.

Seriously, it worked with XP:

Why not with Vista?

How do I test Vista, without a DVD? OK, I can download the image from a a
shoddy P2P network, but that's rather lame and I am not at ease with that
option.

My guess is because Microsoft figured they could boost sales of XP X64
which wasn't all that well known to the masses. Whereas their
half-a-gazillion-dollar advertising budget for Vista is all the help
they figure they need.

I don't recall a free trial version of any MS OS I've owned um....
er... "licensed" previously (95, 98, 2000, XP [x86]).
 
Microsoft had a free trial of Windows XP for several months, possibly a year
after release.
You can still get trial Windows XP with some books.
