DB2 Viper Early Community website: DB2 Viper test drive

After months of closed beta testing and teaser articles, IBM is offering a publicly available test drive in Viper Release Candidate 1. In addition to the database engine, downloads are also available for Viper client software, development tools, and documentation. If you have some time to play with Viper and have any questions, IBM has opened an online forum just for Viper, manned by some very dedicated DB2 experts from IBM. The business partners who have been participating in the Viper closed beta since December will also be there now that Viper is open for public testing.
