View Windows SideShow without the SideShow hardware

Microsoft_windows_sideshow_emulato What's an aspiring Windows SideShow developer to do with so few Windows SideShow hardware devices actually available? I suppose you could pine away for an i-mate Ultimate smartphone which doubles as a SideShow display. Maybe you can nab the Eleksen bag with the external display. Perhaps you can buy an Asus W5fe notebook, but that seems a bit like overkill to me.

No, if I was a SideShow developer (or just wanted to play with the functionality - yes, you all know me too well), I'd hit up the Microsoft Device Simulator for Windows SideShow and save money with the free emulator download. But that's just me.
