Gothenberg, Sweden (December 18, 2005) Today Runaware™ announced that usage of its product TestDrive has exceeded previous levels. Several contracts with major software publishers have driven up exposure to the online demonstration tool and resulted in a 300% increase in usage since the beginning of the year. With customers becoming increasingly more critical in their software choices, publishers must make it easier to try and evaluate their products. Even with broadband internet speeds and the availability of trial CDs, some customers face too many challenges to install and evaluate new software on their own systems.

Proving its value, more software vendors are directing their clients to TestDrive their products. As competitors realize the value and impact of online demonstrations, they too are signing up to showcase their products in this manner. As this knowledge gains momentum, Runaware predicts usage of TestDrive will continue to increase exponentially and is preparing its resources to handle this demand.
