I'm sure you are often sitting at your new Vista desktop wondering "I wish I knew what the standard options and factory colors of a 2005 BMW M3 were and all I have is this VIN of my friend's M3."  Well, you may be in luck.  I have created a VINTool as a Vista desktop gadget, shown below.  Right now I'm just framing something in while a proper interface is created.  I have to make sure I'm cleared to release this, as its not 100% certain if there will be a licensing issue with some of our data.  In addition we may create some type of Vehicle notification so that you can say "I'm searching for a Triumph TR6 within 100 miles" and you'll see a message if such a thing is added to our systems.  Useful?  Useless but cool?  Neither useful or cool?  You decide.
