I would suggest check "Amazon EC2" for hosting your own SharePoint environment for demo purpose and you may use Microsoft virtual server for development , though I prefer installing in VMware.
* Install VMware
* Install Windows 2003 server and enable WSS
* Install and configure Office SharePoint server 2007 ( Check if SharePoint 2010 is available )
* Install SharePoint designer and InfoPath forms
* At the end don't forget Visual Studio .
By doing this you can get some command over SharePoint administration.
