Demonstrations of Windows 7. Windows 7 extends developers investments in Windows Vista and encourages the creation of new applications and services for the Windows platform. A pre-beta build of Windows 7 was given to PDC attendees; it was announced that a full Windows 7 beta would be released early next year.
Demonstrations of Live Services including Live Mesh a service for synchronizing data across multiple PCs and devices. Today, the powerful synchronization capabilities of Live Mesh have for the first time been opened to developers through a Technology Preview of the Live Framework, enabling Web developers to extend their Web applications to a world of Windows-based PCs and extending their Web applications offline.
Demonstrations of Office 14 Web applications - lightweight versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote - through a browser. With these new applications, people can use a browser to create, edit, and collaborate on Office documents. What's great is that this provides a consistent Office experience when and where our customers want it, regardless of whether they are accessing their Office documents through the PC, phone, or browser.
