Let me first start off by YES, surprisingly enough, there are highlights at a Microsoft event.
First off, the event's keynote was done by Bill Veghte. He is the
Corporate Vice President, North America
.. ooooo.... ahhhhhhhh.His profile page (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/veghte/default.mspx) was Published: February 1, 2004 | Updated: February 1, 2004. So, nothing new for 3 years. Go to go Bill. But enough Microsoft bashing. Here is some of the cool stuff:
Flip 3D allows you to "ALT-TAB" through windows and actually see the window you are looking for. If there is movement in that window, you will see it in Flip 3D. Yeah, cool this is alright, but it only works if you can run Areo, and at the moment. I can't.
This search bar allows you to quickly type what you want, hit enter and you're there. Think of AutoComplete, add in the ability to search inside documents, across attached storage, network shares, databases, programs, emails, and contacts just by pressing your windows key and starting typing. One word. Awesome.
That's it for now. I have only hit 4 points on 3 pages of notes, so there will be much more to come. Stay tuned.
