Egghead Software is really nice in this respect.  They will open a copy
of any software they have and let you try it out.  You have to use their
machines though.  But it is very nice behaviour that should be encouraged.
In fact, I have bought several games from Egghead that I could have gotten
cheaper by mail order just cause they are so useful to have around.

I think Egghead is only in California, Washington and Orgegon, unfortunately.
