So the next keynote was due, and Ray Ozzie took the stage and elaborated on Windows 7. Again, Edward, Steef-Jan and Rutger joined me there and as you can see, it seems we have a good time :)

Then. we were shown some new stuff within Windows 7. The build that was shown was:

The new taskbar. Notice the preview of instances of the application you hover over DSC_4519
A Libraries feature. This spans all the defined machines in your network, so you can now finally have one view over all your media files that are on all your different machines on your LAN. DSC_4520
All Windows 7 machines in your LAN can easily share files and printers. No more complex configuration to do is; the windows 7 instances will detect each other and you can setup what to share.
Also, Windows 7 will natively switch LAN and Printer settings when working on different locations like Home or Work

Devices and Printers are now assembled in one view. DSC_4528
Windows 7 has native Touch computing support DSC_4530
Disk Manager can be used to attach VHD’s!! DSC_4533

 

 

Then, Scott Guthrie took the stage and told us about developing with .NET 4.0

And the to-be-finished WPF GUI for Visual Studio 2010

He also showed some of the new Extensibility points of Visual Studio 2010. It will become much easier to extend Visual Studio to  your needs:

Then, the next subject was on the agenda. Live Services and the new Live Framework.

This allows us to connect devices, users and applications to each other and share all data between them. Mesh is built upon this, and the possibilities with this framework are endless.

Then Don Box and Chris Anderson did a talk about Azure. They showed us how easy it was to develop services and let client connect to it via the cloud.
